The home keys are faster.  By using them I never have to move away from
the qwerty keys, which suits me fine being a touch-typist.  And I never
have to worry about how the qwerty keys will be interpreted when I'm in
a telnet/ssh session to a remote computer.

The keyboard I'm typing on doesn't even have arrow keys.
