Generally nowadays people don't learn Dvorak because it's faster, they learn it because it reduces finger travel and effort.

Those factors apply here too.

Much better to use completion/expansion facilities than to learn a non-standard layout. Trying to use any device when you're used to Dvorak is such indescribable suffering.

Rather than experiencing that in exchange for a tiny amount of saved effort, stick with QWERTY and press TAB/etc to skip most of the typing.
