I spent several months learning Dvorak a few years back. I got up to an almost decent speed (50-60wpm), but it was still less than what I could type with Qwerty (maybe around 70wpm).

I also found though that as my Dvorak speed increased, my Qwerty speed was decreasing.

Then it was very frustrating whenever I had to use anyone else's keyboard. Bam. Back to struggle town and confusion.

Then I realised that if I had put the effort I had spent on Dvorak in to training Qwerty, I would probably have been better off.

And so I gave it up. Now I've forgotten it entirely.
