I was never sure which side of this argument I came down on, and then I switched to a Kinesis Advantage keyboard.

I had to slow down my typing for a couple weeks to get the finger positions right. The whole time, I felt like I was coding with a hangover. I felt like I couldn't think properly, just because of the reduced brain->computer bandwidth.

Did you eventually get better at typing on the Kinesis?

Yes. After 2 weeks, I didn't feel handicapped. After 4 weeks I could type as fast as before (75-80wpm). Now, about 6 months later, I can type 95wpm on a good day.
