I'm starting to learn to touch type correctly on a keyboard, but typing something like :q with the pinky finger always feels so awkward to me. Is it worth using it?

Yes, i do and yes, it's worth it.
Also, practice the number row, too! That's my weakest area by far. I can touch-type everything else but i always have to check the number row.

This advice can't be overlooked. When I was in HS I was out sick for the week we practiced the number row and man, many, many years later I still can't blind type numbers (but can on a 10key).
