The theories behind newer layouts are solid I think, but I’ve avoided adopting them simply because if I don’t regularly use QWERTY, my capacity for using machines other than my own suddenly takes a steep nosedive. My preferred layout is HHKB/Tsangan, a minor variant on QWERTY that replaces Caps Lock with Control, moves Esc to the number row, collapses F-keys into a number row layer, and moves Backspace down where backslash/pipe are and even with that standard keyboards can be frustrating (you don’t realize how hard standard Esc and Backspace positions are to reach until you’ve tried this layout). I can’t imagine what it’d be like if I were using DVORAK or something.
