To be fair, I know what you're saying. Custom can beat logicallity. However, the difference between ABCDE and QWERTY isn't that great. Even on an alphebetical keyboard one would have to get used to the layout, to typing blindly.
Nothing beats a decimal system though. Again, the difference between the units in themselves - yards or meters - is not the real difference in practicality. The use of a decimal system is. This ought to be the death blow to all other systems.
QWERTY is designed to make you type slow so that the old typewriters wouldn't get jammed. There are other keyboard layouts designed for speed and for reducing repetitive stress injuries. AZERTY is a stone age system (but it's not worthwhile switching).
