Are you using qwerty still?

I'm still using QWERTY yes, but I use US/UK keyboard layout for coding, and others for writing messages (SWE/JP for me).

I realized that it didn't make much sense when I already have 3 QWERTY mappings in my head, and moving all of those 3 mappings to Dvorak / Colemak when those two are based on ergonomics pattern of the English language, when I type in 3 languages.

FWIW I also used the Swedish/English split before I completely changed my layout on a split keyboard. (I still use both US and SWE layout on laptops though.)
