It's a more recent layout, yes, but it has achieved decent enough penetration that I would expect anyone seriously contemplating the switch after 2010 or so to be aware of it. Anyone who looked at stack overflow opinions on Dvorak, selected a Dvorak layout on linux, or googled Dvorak and programming in conjunction would have run across it.
