I use dvorak with vi on 2-4 systems only.

Forbid you run loadkeys dvorak :D 

In response to the original question, I switched to dvorak about 4-5 
months ago and haven't looked back since. I definitely type faster now 
than I did (no I haven't clocked my speed, but I most certainly type 
faster.) I just popped off the keys on my keyboard with a knife and 
replaced them.. probably a bad idea, but it was free. 

I'm wondering if I can get my IBM T61 with dvorak keys. I imagine they 
get a fair amount of requests for this.
