As a result, ISTR Dvorak being awful for programming (at least in C-family languages - probably not so bad for Pascal and SQL). Mind you, the Spanish layout is also pretty bad for {}[]. At one point I considered writing a keyboard sniffer and using the data to design a custom layout specifically tailored for my actual usage.
