I use a dvorak/qwerty switchable ultra-ergonomic keyboard ( http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/ and check out their "contoured" USB advantage ) and I'm quite satisfied with it. Seeing the keys isn't important, but sometimes it's nice to see the symbols, especially when coding.
Also, I don't have trouble switching back to qwerty when using public terminals (and vim shortcuts weren't hard to adjust to).
And I agree that's it's mildly faster, but noticeably more comfortable. Any shot I have to avoid RSI, I'll take.
I'd recommend it to the bold and principled, as long as you have a month to type very slow. Check out http://dvzine.org/ for a great dvorak primer comic.
