There's really no reason to disagree here. From the person you replied to > Never had the same problem with Vim&Dvorak, even when writing frantically day and night on my thesis Most of the graduate students I've knew spent a lot of time working alone, and had at some point to type a lot of things already clear in their head meaning ease and speed of typing was a very important factor, keyboard sharing not so much. And then I've observed the same things as you, it's really annoying working at the desktop of my colleagues using non standards keyboards. So, really, it's all dependent on context, and as usual there's a right tool for a given job. Kudos to both of you for coming to correct conclusions in your given environments :-)
