I believe DVORAK is simply a re-designed key layout, optimised to
speed up typing (the most common letters being in a convenient
place for typing), as opposed to QWERTY which was originally
designed to slow down typists (from the early days of mechanical
typewriters where hitting two keys too quickly meant the second
got jammed behind the first!!)

It probably doesn't make all that much difference to us 1
fingered typists!!!
