I've had some, but not much, problems switching from the one to the other.
But then, I avoid Dvorak if I have a choice. I find that I type about
as fast on a QWERTY keyboard. It should be noted, though, that most of
my typing is in Swedish. The Dvorak layout is optimized solely for the
English language. If someone came up with an equally optimizied
keyboard for Swedish, I might well switch to using it.
