I always dismissed those split ergo keyboards as funky and unnecessary, but my parents bought me one for Christmas and I have gotten used to it and really like it. Aside from being more comfortable when you get used to it, I found it has substantially increased my typing speed, even on regular keyboards. It forces you to type properly. No more reaching over for those T's and R's with my dominant right hand because they are so much farther away now it's easier to type them properly. I would recommend them for anyone.
