I'd favor blank keyboards outright, at least until we have those keyboards with fancy screens embedded in them, and even then.
1. I hardly ever typed on a keyboard where the labels on the keys corresponded to the actual current logical keyboard layout. There are so many potential issues, maybe you're typing canadian french on a US keyboard, maybe you're typing Dvorak, maybe you're typing special characters, maybe you're typing some foreign language, maybe you're typing in emacs with your special keybindings.
2. Looking at the keyboard while typing is a great way to type slow and inaccurately, and maybe even have neck pain if you're lucky. And you can't see what you're typing on the screen. Learning touchtyping takes just a couple days (and motivation!) and is a great investment.
And an extensive keyboard macro system embedded right in the OS would be great!
