Everyone who has actually made the switch, including myself, knows that is complete bullshit. I may be an extreme case, but my typing speed went from 55 wpm to 140 within a year, and with dramatically reduced pain after long programming sprees.
- to3m 13y agoStrong words will convince nobody! I've never cared when people tell me that Dvorak is nonsense, or a lie, or whatever. I know it's hard for people, fighting to keep their QWERTY against this enormous onslaught of Dvorak proponents, so I just let them vent. It doesn't actually usually take long. In fact, I don't even bother putting up a defence any more. Not my fingers, after all...
- jmhain 13y agoYeah, I'm getting to that point as well. It's just disappointing to see posts like this, because many people here would undoubtedly benefit greatly from a switch. And it's not some scheme to replace QWERTY with Dvorak globally, as they probably think it is, because I know that will never happen. I just don't want those curious hackers, as I was myself six years ago, to be discouraged from giving it a shot.
