In my opinion it's not a must have for developers but a nice to have for every person which writes a lot of lines every day (this includes developers to me).

I don't thing that saved time is the most important thing here. I have started to learn touch typing for beeing better at vim. Then I found out that learning touch typing was really fun to me. Love hearing music and get in the flow of typing without thinking about anything. I use Ratatype for doings so but there are many good free soltutions for learning how to touch type.

For me the result was, better vim experience and less effort => more fun while writing and coding every day. :D
