I prefer the quantitative approach taken by Carpalx [1].
This analysis finds that Dvorak and Colemak are both substantially better than QWERTY, but Colemak has the edge.

- Taikonerd 5y agoI think the main take-away from that link is "either option is much better than QWERTY." So, if you're trying to decide between Colemak and Dvorak, remember that you're basically guaranteed to win -- either choice is a big improvement!
- limeblack 5y agoIf you type alternative languages Dvorak vowel constant alternation makes more sense long term in my experience.
- goodpoint 5y agoColemak has worse hand alternation than Dvorak and Carpalx does not account properly for this.
- pinouchon 5y agoI'm using the qgmlwy layout for a few years now, pretty happy with it. I remapped caps & added a new modifier to have a "special chars" layer and it works pretty well. Overall it's more trouble than it's worth, if I had to redo the whole journey, I would simply learn to touch-type with querty (maybe colemak), but I'm still happy with the end result.
