Meh. I can type fine on both my weird layout and on a regular one (either Swedish or English layout).

Your point about speed I agree with, but I'll say that the point of an alternative layout shouldn't be speed, it's about comfort.

I've been typing in both qwerty and colemak around the same speed (>=100 WPM) for almost a decade. I ultimately ended up deciding to use qwerty at work and colemak at home. At least for me the comfort difference between layouts is marginal.
