I felt the urge to do research on that:

it was designed to slow typing down

I found out that you might be right. So, at least, I learned something today.

Colemak, Dvorak etc. seem to be optimized for people who use ten fingers and mainly type in English. (The Colemak website claims that "for other languages Colemak isn't optimal", and, oh boy, do we need those umlauts!) - Despite being a confident QWERTZ typist, I can't deny that I sometimes take a look at alternatives. Neo would probably be "my" recommended layout if I was interested in using all ten fingers. ;-)

I might try some of those on Android. I don't have a good keyboard there anyway.
