When I first tried to learn to touch type it felt like with QWERTY most frequently used keys are away from each other. I then started looking for alternate keyboards and that's when I found that QWERTY was mostly implemented for mechanical type writers to not get jammed.

I use Dvorak. Its just felt natural to use a keyboard which has frequently use keys on the home row. I never learned touch typing on QWERTY. Switched the layout on my system and the only way for me to type was to learn to touch type. I would say you should learn touch typing and see benefits for yourself. You can always change keyboard layout as per your needs. Besides you don't need lights at night while typing :)
