I'm a Dvorak user. I use the programmers dvorak [dvp] layout specifically, which moves more frequently-used symbols in programming languages into more ergonomic places. I've switched about 7 years ago, and the ergonomic benefits are just enormous. Typing is so much more pleasant, smooth, and fun, compared to QWERTY. Note that I still touch type both, and have decent speed (~100wpm in Dvorak, ~85wpm in QWERTY). The pain (about 2 months realistically) has been totally worth it. Also the way my brain cringed during the switch made me feel like it was a pretty great brain exercise.
