Don't listen to the DVORAK people. All the things they say are just FUD with no scientific studies to back them up. There is no real evidence that it is better in terms of ergonomics or speed. If you do switch to DVORAK, you will have lots of inconvenience because the world is QWERTY.<p>The very real advantages of sticking with the world standard greatly outweigh any imaginary advantages of changing layout. Your best bet is to just get a better keyboard, physically speaking.
