I actually learned Norman a number of months ago to a pretty reasonable level (90WPM) with http://type-fu.com/.

However, I couldn't get over the hump to use it day to day. It's hard to unlearn vim commands and all.

Strangely, I'm able to switch pretty effectively between qwerty and norman. Also strange is if I think about typing in my mind, it's in the norman layout.

I found that it was possible to retain two layouts when switching, but at the expense of efficiency. I could not make significant progress until I abandoned any effort to retain my former layout. Having switched three times now, I found this to be the case every time. I'm up in the 120s at this point.
