Even after decades of qwerty? And what about switching back and forth?
Serious question though I'll if course accept responses in the spirit of the thread too.
As a querty user, I know most of my speed typing comes down to muscle memory, but dvorak is a more sensible layout from what I've heard. The problem with dvorak is that most people, including myself, are too used to the old layout to want to momentarily slow down and learn something that would be faster in the long run. So I'm never gonna fault someone for either choice, but... Switching back and forth is some psycho the-voices-moaned-me-to-do-it shit.
I use Dvorak. I typed around 70 wpm in Qwerty, and now I'm up to around 95 wpm in Dvorak. Was it worth it? I dunno. I got up to a good speed (like 30 wpm) in like a month, but it took a good couple of years to reach my current speed. The problem is that I switched from being a programmer to teaching programming, so now I have a bit of trouble every time I try to show my students something on their computers. No way I'm switching back to Qwerty, but I'm not sure if the switch was really worth it. If I were an author, a secretary, someone who actually typed fast all day long it'd probably be worth it, but not for what I actually do.
