QWERTY is rubbish for one-handed typing, so I can see the advantage of a layout like Dextr (and for one-thumbed-typing, the 3-letters-per-key with predictive is perfect).

However, it *is* annoying as hell when a layout you know is messed around with (ever tried foreign keyboards..?) No compelling reason for QWERTY to be dropped from workstations and laptops.

What's wrong with knowing both? Different tools for different jobs.
