Would you consider using an alternative keyboard layout such as Dvorak or Colemac? (lemmy.ml)

To me, it's not about speed, but about comfort. My hands don't move much with Dvorak, while QWERTY has me doing weird hand movements that are unnatural.

I use a Kinesis keyboard for almost all of my typing. Finger travel is fairly minimal anyway with the well design and linear keyboard layout regardless of layout.
