Doesn't work with Vim as well though.

I learned Dvorak and Vim at the same time and never noticed an issue. Maybe if you've already learned Qwerty Vim there's a transition?

Yeah, it's a brain@#$%. I did it though, and wouldn't look back.

Vim works great in Dvorak. I switched to Dvorak, and jumped right in to relearning my Vim keystrokes with it. After a few weeks, I was back to normal in Dvorak, in both typing and Vim.

I'm sure anyone with the thoughtfulness to enjoy reading Hacker News can think of a solution to the Dvorak/Vim integration problem :)

For a while I used Qwerty for insert mode and Dvorak for command mode, but eventually I ended up using Dvorak for everything. My particular hand pain didn't show up until years after I took up Dvorak. My problem is mainly with my pinky fingers, and Dvorak actually seemed to be worse than Qwerty for me, so I've switched back to Qwerty.
