I learned Colemak in 6 months and I don’t regret it a bit. I don’t have scientific evidence for this, but with Colemak my fingers don’t move anymore most of the time, and when they do it’s a small extension to the upper or lower row. It’s like they are glued to the home row.

When I switch to Qwerty once a month, my fingers are jumping all over the place, and my hands take weird positions to reach those random keys due to them being scattered for every word.

It’s like Qwerty was created to be the most inefficient layout for the users with keys being all over the place for every word (not the fake news about slowing people who use typewriters, it’s really inefficient).

I kind of like the feeling of typing on a QWERTY board with my fingers all over the place. Maybe it’s keeping my fingers strong and limber. What if I switched to Colemak and my fingers atrophied?!

Either you’re joking or you don’t know that bad positions with a keyboard or mouse can break your hands (I’m thinking of carpal tunnel’s syndrome but I’m sure there is more).

Tongue in cheek. I’ve been using emacs with QWERTY coding fulltime for years. Hands doing fine. Just need good seating, monitor, keyswitch spring strength, and hand positioning. Cherry MX brown switches were exhausting.
