For me, it's not about speed, but accuracy. Typos are worse in programming than prose, and doubly-so in Vim (or another editor with Vim bindings). I'll try Ratatype. I've tried home row a couple times in the past, but haven't ever really stuck with it, and always felt like it was overly-focused on letters. If Ratatype will help me type accurately when typing includes plenty of ()[]{}%$^!, then that's a skill I'd really benefit from.

Yes, I do believe they have a specific lessons on just using symbols. The nice thing is they also have a typing test which is just a paragraph you can test that once a week to see your improvements. keybr.com is also nice after the lessons from Ratatype because it shows you which letters you are still struggling with. They have a nice stats page.
