We need a ANSI VS DVORAK.
Doesn't ANSI specify QWERTY layout?
I use Dvorak, as do many of the other users here. I don't want to name names and out anyone though.
I learned in late 2007, and have had to keep up on QWERTY for work. I type the same speed in both, and can now switch over relatively quickly. I'm still learning proper technique on Dvorak with my ergodox though.
I actually wanted to learn left-handed Dvorak, and studied it for about a day, then I had a paper to write, and went cold turkey on my model M with Dvorak for a while.
It's become a problem, as almost all the keyboards I have that work are programmed for hardware Dvorak, and many have Dvorak-specific keycaps.

Most of my M's have the keycaps swapped around for Dvorak layout as well. All my QWERTY keyboards seem to be at work, so if my roommate needs one, I have to dig out an old cherry POS kb or something from the basement.
I'm a big proponent of Dvorak (well, alternative layouts in general), and prefer it to colemak because it's not based on QWERTY. Given my uncommon reasons, I recommend people look up alternative layouts and choose whichever they prefer.
I've bought 20% of thick PBT Dvorak keycaps made, and I sort-of regret not getting the dvorak spherical keycaps set in round4. Maybe there's still a chance.
