Thanks for sharing your experience. Hearing that you went from being proficient at Dvorak to Workman and in the end prefer Workman motivates me to try it.

Dvorak is awful for the shell, but actually not bad for vi. Do you have any experience with Workman and vi?

Yes, I do use neovim as my main editor, as well as applications like ranger that use similar binds. While the hjkl placement is a bit nonsensical like in most non-qwerty layouts, in the end you're just pressing letters to do actions, and you get used to it the same way you get used to typing in the new layout in general. I don't do any special rebinding with the layout in mind. I also tend to argue that if you're advanced in vim, you won't use hjkl as much anyway since you'll be moving by words or paragraphs or using the search instead.
