I used Workman for a year back in 2013. I even submitted it for inclusion into the Xorg project (perhaps a little prematurely). https://bugs.freedesktop.org/s

Overall the layout felt great and relieved a lot of pain. I have two issues with it. The first one is that vim keybindings are terrible. This could easily be fixed by remapping keys in vim. The second issue is typing PO and OP sequences. This wasn't really noticeable until I hit around 60-70 wpm, then it stuck out like a sore thumb. If you don't typically type faster than that, this probably isn't an issue.
I have also typed Colemak and Dvorak (current layout) at a high level. Colemak was the the most painful for me as my index fingers just felt overloaded all the time. Dvorak was also a little painful on the right pinky until it got stronger. Dvorak was also the hardest of the three layouts to get used to.
All three are way better than Qwerty when it comes to typing comfort.
