aoeuidhtns! I've used Dvorak for at least six years now. Love it.

For anyone interested in learning, I found that the best sites were: http://www.gigliwood.com/abcd/ http://dvorak.nl/learn.plp and the program KP Typing Tutor (great dvorak exercises). interesting comparison tool: http://www.siteuri.ro/dvorak/

How about the awesomeness of the dvorak home row? 3269 Scrabble words (OSPD) can be typed on the home row, including nine 15-letter words (such as tendentiousness) 206 for asdfkhjkl. Longest: halakhahs and haggadahs
