I’ve done Colemak and came back to Qwerty for two reasons that are really compelling, I feel. One, I program so I make lots of weird motions anyway. When writing long prose, Colemak felt nicer but for coding typing it wasn’t a big change. In both cases, I’m regularly typing symbols and making weird patterns. Additionally, you usually are never reaching high speed during coding so your hands often have time to rest. Two, other people’s keyboards aren’t Colemak. Other people using your keyboard is also a problem. For better or worse the non-standard choice tax is really high with keyboards, especially if you experience difficulty with Qwerty after making the switch.
