Always found Colemak to be much more programmer-friendly than Dvorak.
E.g. try typing ls -la on Dvorak.
E.g. try typing ls -la on Dvorak.
Try typing CreateVertexBuffer or SetVertexDrawTestFlags on QWERTY. Or consider the humble underscore!

The ls case is a legendary fallacy of not enough programmer friendlyness of Dvorak. I have just searched "ls dvorak" on HN and I ended up with dosens of messages about how non-comfort is this popular command to type.
Nobody has demonstrated any second example though.
A quick google for `dvorak programmer unfriendliness` would give you plenty of leads. Whether you agree or not is another matter.
Don't get me wrong, I'm on QWERTY. It's just... the level of confirmation bias gets me every time. "I'm definitely right because nobody presented evidence to the contrary to me on a silver platter"
I am seing this example not a first time. I'm also going to write my qwerty vs dvorak article on my blog so I am gathering all the examples of pros and cons of these two layouts.
That’s what I did.

Put alias ll = “ls -la” in your zshrc if typing ls -la bothers you ;) but personally I just type it out
alias ha='ls -la'
alias hh='ls -l' l
