I completely concur. I've been typing (almost) exclusively on Dvorak for the last 12 years, through university and a career as a professional programmer. It's hard to hear my colleagues complaining of wrist pain on a regular basis. I've tried to get some of them to switch but it's really not easy when your job relies on being able to type. You really do need to immerse yourself on it - trying to learn Dvorak while typing all day on Qwerty isn't going to work.
I'd actually recommend people to make the switch if you ever happen to take a two week vacation where you're still on the computer. Your hands will thank you.
It's even worth the continual comments from my coworkers - "What the fuck is wrong with your keyboard?". Actually, that's a lie, the 16-year-old inside me still loves those comments. :)
