Dvorak is old, yes. But busted? By the way, for international users the NEO keyboard layout might be worth a look, too.

I'm just too lazy to switch from Dvorak to NEO, even though it would make it easier to type German Umlaute. Also my Kinesis Advantage keyboard supports Dvorak out of the box.

Seconded, for typing in code (with all the brackets and what not) this worked out better for me.

programmer dvorak is even better... :D

Interesting, first I've heard of that.

Colemak puts the colon key above the home-row, and using Shift, which for Vim is rather unfortunate. I guess you can always remap it.
