This project got me to buy a full NKRO keyboard.
I dislike how every system/theory has their own dictionary for words and in addition to that, it's heavily encouraged to customize your dictionary for the work you're doing. The customization makes it much harder to learn. Think extensive emacs/vim shortcut customization but worse (in my opinion) and much, much more common.
It is fun essentially typing syllables instead of individual letters. When I was learning, I found a lot of mismatches between how I thought a word sounded, and what the dictionary thought. It felt like relearning English.
Other downsides (at the time), was that there's no real slowing down. You're either typing syllables quickly, or you're not writing anything. There's a way to type individual letters but it's pretty slow, and you have to stop plover (toggle it off), to type normally (which is slightly faster).
