qwerty

The issue is that qwerty is such a de facto standard that you'll run into many layout issues using dvorak.

However, If I use a full qwerty keyboard for more than about thirty seconds the old qwerty-fu starts returning.

If you're proficient with qwerty, you'll always retain the ability to use the qwerty layouts in a non-touch-typing manner just as well as before.

Typing speed is mostly due to alternating hands when you type; Qwerty is perfectly fine for that use case.

It is pretty clear that my fingers travel less distance on a dvorak keyboard than they did on qwerty.

The single quote is slightly more convenient to type on a qwerty keyboard, but text regularly contains single quotes (apostrophes).

Typing in Qwerty on my laptop is easy, in Azerty on my parents machine is easy, but not the other way around.

I have never used a qwerty keyboard much longer than that because I just don't want to go back.

The learning process was slow and comical until I started having Dvorak reflexes on a Qwerty keyboard.

Interestingly, A and M are the same spot in qwerty and Dvorak.

Today I am still not faster with dvorak than I was with qwerty when I switched.

Took me about 2 weeks to get up to about 30 WPM (I'd been a 90 WPM Qwerty touch-typist before).

Because of this, typing on dvorak has an overall "calmer" feel to it than qwerty.

As a side note, i can say that typing English in Dvorak was more comfortable and natural, than Qwerty.

And if you control your typing environments, it's better to stay with Dvorak than to switch back to Qwerty.

If you connect to your computer from another computer/keyboard, your computer will expect you to type Dvorak, but your keyboard will be in Qwerty.
