But it obviously is - just not so much that it's worth switching over, given how much of a standard QWERTY is and how much hassle it is to retrain. Most people just don't type enough for the issues with it to become apparent, and if there's no issues with it then there's nothing to justify changing.
- nayuki 3y agoForget retraining. Should we teach kids on a new keyboard layout? Should manufacturers put out more hardware options? Should software developers make alternative layouts more visible and easier to choose? There's a cycle here: Existing people type QWERTY, so they buy QWERTY keyboards, so they teach kids QWERTY, so they buy QWERTY keyboards, so they teach their kids QWERTY, and so on. I use Dvorak. https://www.nayuki.io/page/i-type-in-dvorak https://www.nayuki.io/page/i-type-in-dvorak
