I use Dvorak simplified with a couple modifications for coding and typing on a regular basis. I have kept []-="/ in the same location as qwerty because I have found keeping these keys in the same locations keeps my mind from getting to confused when I do switch back to qwerty for temporary usage(also they are easier to type in the qwerty location IMO).
If you look at the Dvorak keyboard here[1] leaving []-="/ in the same locations moves the z key off the keyboard. I then put the z key next to the left shift and the ; key next to tab.
If you read my Q&A here http://superuser.com/q/598405 http://superuser.com/q/598405 it demonstrates that switching to other keyboard layouts aren't difficult, but can be quit different depending on OS/system. Linux has the most variations of switching between different keyboard layouts.
If you type on your own laptop/desktop mainly then I would recommend it. Dvorak is pre-installed on all modern OSs, so it very easy to enable. I have notice minor speed improvements.
If you use Windows(like me) using an autohotkey script that you can use to enable/disable Dvorak makes it easy enough for you to use other computers and for others to use your own computer.
