I went from qwerty to dvorak after hitting a max speed of 160wpm in qwerty and I still found some ergonomic improvements in dvorak. Never hit the old speeds. You're right about the right hand bias, though. I traded my left hand pain from qwerty for worse right hand pain with dvorak. It lasted even after building an ergonomic keyboard, so I switched to the workman layout after that. Things are basically fine now. Workman actually does promise 50/50 hand usage, which is rather unique and not seen in other layouts, whether more or less efficient. This criterion made me choose it over the more extreme halmak layout. Also, I like the name "workman" and that the left side homerow spells "ash". I never liked the idea of colemak being intentionally similar to qwerty and changing up fewer keys than dvorak. I thought this idea was limiting and gave people the easy way out. Workman applies a similar idea, which again annoyed me at first, but I'm pretty used to it now. I'd say it makes it more confusing to type qwerty on another keyboard as some keys are the same and muscle memory can get mixed up between the two. I don't type qwerty much at all, so maybe this would improve over time. With dvorak I think only a and m were the same for the letters, so it felt more like hitting a distinct switch. Workman also avoids the issue in colemak that colemak mod-dh had to fix from what I understand. Of course these layouts are not all the same age, so one might learn their layout and become loyal to it before a better one is invented. Dvorak is quite old now, and colemak is at least older than workman. I no longer remember dvorak at all. I think I used it for 18-24 months or so. I'll probably remember qwerty forever since I grew up on it, and I use workman daily so it's safe for now. I have used workman for at least a year and a half, maybe two and a half now.
