I haven't tried Dvorak yet. From what I've read QWERTY makes you use your left hand more for common characters and Dvorak relies on your right hand more, and I'm left handed. It might be something to try in the future though, maybe if I have a keyboard where I could pick up the keys and rearrange them to help me learn. Right now I have my favorite split keyboard, which has some of the keys shaped funny so they can't be swapped.
I also have the 3M ergonomic mouse (http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/ergonomics/home/products/ergonomicmouse/), which is molded to fit my right hand, so I can't move it to the left. I used to use a touchpad that is built into my keyboard (right below the arrow keys), but having the mouse buttons directly below the touchpad leads to a lot of crossing your thumb underneath your palm, which is bad. I do try to avoid mousing if possible though, but I have trouble remembering a lot of keyboard shortcuts.
Haha, I would switch languages, but I don't think my boss would approve. :P Although C# does now have "var" which is pretty much an inferred type.
