Yeah it’s a pretty painful task to learn a new layout. I’ve done it 3 times, going from QWERTY -> Dvorak -> BEAKL15 -> Graphite, it’s been a pretty awful experience each time. Especially the latest one, as I actually have a job now where I type a lot. There was a period of about a month where I slowly forgot my old layout and needed to build speed with my new one pretty quickly.
But, if you ever are looking to switch, I can definitely recommend Graphite as keyboard layout for developers. I personally swapped X and J to make it more dutch-friendly, but other than that it’s been excellent for comfort.
