Poll:do you use or ever learn the dvorak keyboard layout?

[RIGorous1]

I was reading the benefits of this keyboard layout and I'm wondering if anyone uses it... it sounds good, and from what I've read we should all be switching. Still I think the QWERTY layout has dominated the Pop culture just like how we've been stuck on the English Measurement Standard instead of the Metric...

educate

nobody eh? Honestly we should disabuse ourselves of the QWERTY .... our hands and wrists will thank us in 20 years

No

I'm gonna have to give this one a big "no" because it took me forever to learn to type. It would be like learning a new language and god knows that I hate people from Papua New Guinea.

Sounds like some sort of cult:Q

I have a Dvorak keyboard, but there's no point in learning it. Everywhere else I go will have QWERTY.

Studies have been done...the marginal cost of retraining everyone on dvorak will exceed the marginal benefit gained from switching to Dvorak [in value of time saved over a lifetime].

my friend took the time to learn it, he doesnt type any faster or more comfortably

I use dvorak all the time at home
at work i use qwerty though. I am thinking about ordering a hardware dvorak kb and bringing it in to work though. I am pretty quick on both Dvorak and Qwerty though.

since the keys are all in the same positions, can't you just use software to convert a qwerty keyboard to dvorak?

i tried to make one once, i took all the keys off and put them back in dvorak mode, never learned to use it though
