I use Dvorak at work and at home... but on my mobile phone (Android) I use the built in qwerty virtual keyboard because I'm only using my 2 thumbs anyway.

It's also available in QWERTY, for those of you who are stuck in your ways (i.e. most of the world). Dvorak is really much better though, IMO, and well worth the small investment of time it requires to learn. The poor guy devoted a decade of his life to developing the best possible layout, but no one wanted to invest in replacing their old QWERTY typewriters because he came out with it during the Depression. QWERTY was more or less an arbitrary design that gained foothold by default. Even its own inventor later tried to come out with an improved layout, unsuccessfully -- due to the same challenge of changing people's ingrained habits. So change to Dvorak now, for your children's sakes! Yeah, I know no one will listen... Bah! I use the same keyboard and love it.

You are the only person who I've ever known that uses Dvorak! I'm too lazy to learn another keyboard layout, let alone one on a keyboard that has vertical columns. More power to you; I just wish I wasn't so stuck in my ways... Dvorak? You are the only person who I’ve ever known that uses Dvorak!

I’m too lazy to learn another keyboard layout, let alone one on a keyboard that has vertical columns. More power to you; I just wish I wasn’t so stuck in my ways…
