"[Dvorak] was created in the 1930’s and promised to be vastly superior to QWERTY. I went ahead and tried it out and soon enough after doing “ls -latr” on the terminal, I had to shake my head and sadly walk away from it."

Because, obviously, Dvorak was optimized in 1930 for typing things like ls -ltar on a typewriter.



Heh, yeah, that's a silly argument. But in that case I'm very glad for him that linux doesn't have a command called "hypolimnion"! Just type it in to see what I mean.

(Heh. I just realised that I never even bothered to change the 'hjkl' keys, in vim, as navigation keys, on the dvorak layout. It took about no time at all to get it into my system. I just stopped thinking about it.)
