It was actually designed to intentionally slow down the best typists as a way to reduce the occurrence of lock-ups in mechanical typewriters due to hammer collisions. Obviously, there's no need for this in electronic devices.
I'm guessing @Kenneth Love may be one of the few who has managed to break out of the loop, and adopt one of the modern effecient keyboard layouts such as Dvorak, Colemak, or maybe even Maltron.
So what do you use, Kenneth?
