I chose Colemak about 8 months ago after a bunch of research and haven't looked back. Some important things, beyond the ease metrics: - Don't move too many keys that are used for hotkeys: zxcv qw h a are not moved. - Let me move around vim in a sane way. hjkl are kind of a reach now, but they are all under my left index. - Make sure my `readline` hotkeys are easy to read. a r f b n p y u are all good. g is a bit of a stretch. - It's common enough that I don't have to install custom software on every computer I use. It's on OSX and in the firmware of many mechanical keyboards. qwerty is garbage, and it's a real shame that it's here to stay, and I feel bad that I had to 'settle' for a layout that has some keys borrowed, but I am a realistic more than an idealistic and colemak definitely still hits on the important points for me.
