Comment Hardest part for a programmer (Score 1) 624
The hardest part of a new layout is all the little characters you don't use often in regular typing. If I were a writer, switching back and forth would be a simple matter but as a programmer, Dvorak really slowed me down finding semicolins and square brackets without looking. Since these things are a major part of every program I would think you'd loose a lot of productivity with a switch.
