Qwerty of course.

Joking. Dvorak then.

I even tried Dvorak for 2 days before discovering Colemak. The rest is history.

Definitely not QWERTY! I would've used Dvorak, or one of the optimized CarpalX layouts instead!

I'd be using Dvorak right now if I hadn't read about Colemak and tried it (and I'm very glad I did. I find Colemak to be superior, although Dvorak's hand alternation is nice).

I was also about to start learning Dvorak when I found Colemak.

I used Dvorak for about 3 years before switching to Colemak so I'd still be using that.

I was on my first Dvorak lesson when I found about Colemak. So it probably would have been Dvorak.

I found out about Colemak while looking into Dvorak, so maybe Dvorak (or US QWERTY if switching wouldn't have worked out).

I too was about a week into dvorak when I discovered colemak....I think the darn L position made us question if we really wanted to invest our time into dvorak...resulting in looking for another alternative.

I think I'd have stuck with Dvorak, even if it annoyed me a lot at times.
