The QWERTY arrangement stems from very early typewriters in 1870, when they had the problem that the type bars would jam if you typed too quickly, so they shifted the letters around until they found an arrangement that minimized the problem.
This is obviously not much of a problem anymore, but so many millions of people know the QWERTY keyboard by heart that all attempts to standardize on something else have failed.
The Dvorak keyboard is consistently quicker to use, for instance, but the difference is only 10% or so, and a 10% speedup has not been enough to convince many to go through the trouble of learning a different keyboard.
