I switched one of my computers over to DVORAK a year ago and painfully 
relearned how to type.

The one thing that I discovered is that my fingers stopped hurting from 
a long day of typing.  I have never formally learned how to type, and just 
by practice, I am up to a speed of 50 wpm in a good stretch on QWERTY, but
at the end of the day, I feel as if I have arthritus.

The benefit I get is the release from this pain and an improved typing speed.

I will continue to use DVORAK.

Paul.
