Have gone through a few of the tutorials and it's a great teacher. The audio feedback, graphs and logging done really helps.

I need to get better with the new layout before I try editing code again. It's just too easy to make a devastating mistake! I tried using Vim and it was really painful.

Its editing keystrokes have become second-nature, so I'd have to relearn all of them, too. I think it would be doubly hard to switch to Dvorak for someone like me who’s a devotee of vim.

If so you can go into your system preferences --> Accounts --> Login Options --> Show input menu. Then you can pick whatever layout you want during login. Btw, I've been on dvorak for over two years and must admit that it's reduced the strain on my fingers significantly. :-) Do you run OS X on your macbook?

I've done it a few times moving from different language environments. It has not usually taken me more than 2 or 3 days to get the hang of the differences. The fewer the differences, the harder it is to relearn. I get the impression none of you have changed keyboards before…right?

Dvorak may interest the new generation though. For years we have been used to QWERTY, habits die hard. Dvorak may interest the new generation though.
