Comment Dvorak IS evolutionary superior (Score 1) 973
This guy wrote a genetical algorithm to find out the most efficient keyboard layout based on several factors like time needed to move fingers and use of both hands alternating.
The best designs were stunningly similar to Dvorak, suggesting that it is quite perfect. In direct competition to Dvorak they even lost. Seems there are no (mathematically) faster keyboards.
Quite scientific method. Of course only relevant to ten-finger-typists.
