I ended up diving deep into this issue. Maybe it's the engineer in me that's coming out, but now I find myself constantly trying to make things more efficient with the least amount of effort. Incase others are actually interested in the subject here's a heatmap of different layouts

DVORAK is the next best thing that people praise. It looks too foreign to me and it looks too right hand heavy.

Colemak looks to be ok. Not too foreign. I don't like the over utilizing my left pinky and moving my hand across the to the H key.

Workman is the one I'm leaning heavily to, but it's too new and not easily supported I don't think.

HALMARK is by far my favorite https://youtu.be/pZ40gmfDFfQ (5:30). It was made by some dude with AI. The layout looks pretty efficient, but I would like to see a heatmap for it, but it's just too new.

QWERTY layout is great and very purposefully designed, you'll get used to it. Been typing since Grade 2 or so and I'm really fast at it. Don't hate it just because you're new to it

I don't hate it because I'm new at it. If you step back and look at the board it's really not that efficient and under utilizes human potential/performance.
