Bepo is a layout made on the same methodology as Dvorak, but for French, with a good placement of characters often used by programmers (semicolumn, brackets, curly brackets etc.). It has quite a good community around it, so it's not that hard to find help on how to make your software behave well with bepo (for example, vim configuration).

For the home row, there might be no historical meaning behind it, but it means all my keys are at most 2 keys away from my fingers, so I'll take it as it is.

But of course, to each their own, if you can type fine without all of that, and don't have any risk of problems with your wrists, then it's all good :)
