I bought a split keyboard but when I realised I had to relearn everything after trying to use it, I abandoned it. I once used DVORAK but I abandoned that too (not overlapping the split key keyboard). I also really liked vimperator, the firefox plugin that let you manipulate firefox and click links through the keyboard and scroll with vim bindings. My tastes have completely changed. I no longer want to optimise how I do the work that I do do, but innovate or learn brand new things. Switching machines is painful and jarring when you swap from a custom configured machine to a default configuration machine. So things like keybindings, tmux bindings, zsh customisations, ssh shortcuts. I just decided to remember how to use -W so I wasn't dependent on ssh shortcuts. I am just keenly aware that the profit I get from tweaking everything has diminishing returns. I would rather spend that time learning a new algorithm or playing with some code on repl.it. There is a case for avoiding syntax highlighting too, learn how to setup a codebase from scratch, not use autocomplete so you really learn how to read and write code. Those I agree with. I use a trackball out of inertia. Please note this comment is NOT against tweaking or optimising, it's just I think it's fine to not want to do certain things. I don't think it's obviously superior or worse, it's just not for me.
