i switched to the colemak keyboard layout a couple months ago and after naturally typing with it for a while i got back to my average speed using qwerty. my accuracy could use some work but overall the layout is a lot more comfy than qwerty. one great thing about colemak is that it both improves over qwerty but also i still can effortlessly access common keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+x, ctrl+z, ctrl+c, and ctrl+v. i do struggle with keys near the middle of the keyboard but that's probably more of a skill issue
