I've been using Dvorak since ~2004, so roughly 13 years.

I don't rave about it, but I do like it. It's good on my wrists and that actively makes me happy.

In terms of timeline, for me, it took about 4 months using it in a FT programming job before it just clicked and muscle memory started picking up big time. Until then, it started with hunt and peck (but I _always_ used my the "correct" finger to do so), then slowly getting it a little better. I had originally printed out a sheet showing all the keys as I had to reference it regularly.

It was fun though- I dunno, I like the challenge of it. I've been playing with the idea of switching to Colemak, but I just haven't made it a priority yet.

I also use Dvorak on Android, but obviously that was much later in life, so I already had it memorized by then.
