These posts seem to come up periodically. Search hacker news for 'dvorak'. I've used Dvorak for three years or so. I like it, and it hasn't caused me problems. (FWIW, I use Emacs.) I type 95ish WPM on Qwerty, and haven't cared to time my typing on Dvorak - I type fast enough, either way. I switched as a precaution for RSI (and just to shake up old habits), and the layout feels less awkward than Qwerty. Seriously, ; on the home row? Some people seem to believe that the failure of the Dvorak keyboard proves their economic ideology. Whatever.
