1. Yep, python, Java, JavaScript. Eclipse, PyCharm, Sublime Text (with vi-bindings). Mac, Arch Linux, Windows. Getting the keyboard layout switching working properly on Linux is the most annoying (in my own experience). Mac and Windows are pretty easy to set up on. I don't ever use a custom layout on my phone, but I know someone who Dvorak's on his phone and he seems to fare well. 2. I do write the odd blog post and stuff, and I always use Markdown. For writing for a long time a proper touch-typing-optimized layout does beat QWERTY, as you tend to write "gentler" (excuse the nonquantitative descriptor.) I have since, though, switched over to stenography, which I find even more convenient for writing prose (like this comment). 3. Jumping between layouts is only an issue after you've just learned the new layout. I'd say it's in the magnitude of hours of inconvenience → after learning Dvorak, switching back to QWERTY and retaining my original speed took maybe a day or two of casual computer use. Now I can switch between QWERTY, Norman, and stenography without a hitch. It's very, very rare that I try to write one layout or letter or word in the wrong place on the other, except for the obvious case when I open up my computer and I don't necessarily know what layout it's in. That's when I get: Kyd qurci bflwp tlx num;s lvdf kyd oazj elg. On that note, I've always wished Google could figure out that I'm writing a wrong layout and figure it out
