I'm a vi and vim fan. A couple years back I switched over to a Dvorak keyboard layout and, man, did that cause problems for me with vi. It seems that in my head, I had linked the commands to specific keys, not the letters. So when the letters all moved around the keyboard, taking the commands with them, my brain didn't make the swap.

Some changes were tragic. For instance, the Dvorak "D" is on the Qwerty "H". So I'm looking to go back, or left, a couple of characters and my fingers automatically go to the Qwerty "H" key. Which, of course, is now "D". If you know vi, then you know what happens instead of going backwards a few characters.
