minus-squaregraphito@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down1·edit-22 years agoI learned colemac and can use it on par with qwerty but it just isn’t integrated as the mainstream: Search wouldn’t recognize the language if you chose wrong layout Shortcuts: everything’s nowadays designed with qwerty in mind, every alternative is awkward subsequently, vim is out every other computer is a struggle your computer is unusable for anyone else, including colleagues who trying to help you or loved ones who want to check the weather
