I think if you are switching over for speed gains or just for fun, sure it may be inconvenient and not worth the effort. However, many people switch to ergonomic split keyboards because they have to due to RSI or tenosynovitis (as was my case) or at great risk of such.

For those people, I highly recommend you to go ahead and buy a Glove80, you will actually be able to type again without pain. It's a learning curve, but gaining back control of your own hands is so, so worth it. You also need to be patient, it took me about a month and a half before the pain was entirely gone. I also continue to do my daily hand, wrist and arm exercises which help greatly as well.
