I used Dvorak for about 5 years. Switch to it was hard. Stopped in 2008 when I got a nice Dell XPS laptop at work without approval to mod the keyboard. Soon after that switched back to QWERTY with all the other computers as well. Main issues during this brief encounter: - there was not a really big difference in speed, even after the training period; - nobody was able to use my computer, having half of the keys blank also helped; - it was very hard to use normal QWERTY that happened to be... everywhere; every coworker had it; or laptop you had for taking random notes.
