Funny you should ask that! It's mostly because I'm hanging out it a ton of keyboard related Discord servers and the topic comes up naturally (downside of designing the things, your life revolves around it). Usually I'll post a few new images or screengrabs from KiCad and get a few comments along the line of 'someday I'll learn how to use mine!'. I mean there's students and people using them daily, but those comments just get me thinking.

A big issue moving to a new layout is learning/adapting to it. Georgi uses a chording approach [1] and is a compactified version of Gergos layout [2]. That makes it harder to learn.

Thankfully Gergos layout is meant for programming/shelling around and is fairly traditional. All I know is that my RSI flares a ton less then it used to! In theory, this applies to Georgi as well.
