Honestly even with default QWERTY/Z layout they are worth it.
Better typing position for hands, and the most underrated bonus - you can put ANYTHING between two halves.
Pen and paper + notes for solving harder problems? no problem
coffee mug and/or plate with breakfast? no problem.
Cellphone? also not a problem.
Honestly for pure programming don't focus on typing speed, as bulk of the work happens in the mind.

- rgoulter 4y ago> Honestly for pure programming don't focus on typing speed, as bulk of the work happens in the mind. It's worth being nuanced here. I think nobody is spending hours typing out code without interruption. So, roughly (and imprecisely), if you spend 90% of your time thinking/reading, and 10% typing; then having half the typing speed would only make you 10% slower overall. That said, even if we say that typing is a low-intensity part of programming, then it's still good to reduce the time you spend typing things out. (Though, surely there's a point of diminishing returns).
