    Fell out of favour in that it isn’t taught as “the correct way to type” any more. Largely because most devices you type on now wouldn’t even have physical keys. So learning home row typing for the occasional time the thing you are typing on is a physical full sized keyboard just disrupts the flow of everything else.

    Being perfectly optimal isn’t as productive as it feels, especially when it leads to resistance to change and adapt.

      Home row is absolutely still taught as the “correct” way to type. Source: kids are in elementary school
