Emacs with dvorak is almost more natural than with qwerty. C-x, C-c using the left pinky for control and the right pointer and middle fingers for x and c (respectively) feels much better to me than using the left hand in a chorded arrangement like in qwerty.
There are others though I'd have to think for a bit longer to list them all. In many cases my hands just seem to flow better.
NB: I was a touch typist with QWERTY (got to about 60wpm) before switching to Dvorak (peaked around 120wpm, around 100wpm these days). I do not attribute the increase to Dvorak specifically, but to literally not being able to see what letter I was pressing so I truly become a touch typist.
