Dvorak  is  quite nice.   I  could never go
back  to  Qwerty (where  I was  pretty much 
"clawing" at the keys.  *ouch*).  


...sorry, I've never used those  apps  (vim
and  nechack),  so  I  couldn't  say if the  
layouts  are  "logical"  in  Dvorak.  I use 
nvi and things seem fine.

I did myself a favor when I learned Dvorak.

Luck.

b. 
 

is logical for their key-layouts.
