I like dvorak and use it all the time, but I think there's another reason for the tendency of dvorak users to become proficient touch typists that doesn't have anything to do with any intrinsic property of dvorak. When you learn dvorak on a qwerty keyboard, there is less temptation to look at your fingers because all the keys are labeled wrong.

"When you learn dvorak on a qwerty keyboard, there is less temptation to look at your fingers because all the keys are labeled wrong."
A property plenty easy to achieve on any keyboard layout, with a little ingenuity (and possibly a butter knife).

haha, maybe! Anyway, when I learned dvorak, I used http://www.typingstudy.com which I think is the key for my fast speed. But maybe I'm mistaken :)
