Is Workman actually more efficent than Colemak?
How many changed keys does Workman have compared?
But Workman is not even a built in keyboard layout in windows.
It seems like there is no forum like Colemak has and there are limited typing tutors.
Which should I do Colemak or Workman?
You should do Colemak. But since you asked on a Colemak forum, you'd expect that answer anyway, right?
However, I feel it's a simple enough choice. Workman brags a _lot_ about itself but it's made with a poor understanding of layout design. For instance, it has a way too high same-finger bigram rate. As you point out, too, it doesn't have a lot of support.
I feel that many users get bamboozled into using Workman by its aggressive self-propaganda, and it's a sad thing since it is at heart a poorly constructed layout.
If you want to listen in on layout comparisons in general, join the Alt Keyboard Layout Discord server. They'll likely say about the same thing as I did above.

What did Workman's creator do that shows that he has a poor understanding of layout design?
In fact it was a very hard choice for me.
How do you know it is a poorly constructed layout?
