Generally nowadays people don't learn Dvorak because it's faster, they learn it because it reduces finger travel and effort.
Those factors apply here too.
- Ferret7446 8mo agoMuch better to use completion/expansion facilities than to learn a non-standard layout. Trying to use any device when you're used to Dvorak is such indescribable suffering. Rather than experiencing that in exchange for a tiny amount of saved effort, stick with QWERTY and press TAB/etc to skip most of the typing.
- jama211 8mo agoI think they actually learn it because of the fun of mastery and the satisfaction of typing at high speed when you’re good at it, I doubt there’s much practical value.
