A benefit for ortholinear I don’t see mentioned here: it’s a little less cognitive load to locate keys by touch. As someone else mentioned, I think “split” might be important here (and I don’t have any experience with non-split ortholinear). Also, this only applies after you’ve overcome the learning curve. All this taken into account: with my ortholinear board, I rarely mistype. I attribute this to it just being easier to know which key I’m hitting with a columnar layout. You can take this a step further with CRKBD and similar such that each key is only 1 unit away from home (and thus it’s next to impossible to mistype).
