Agreed. In my case, "others" have been people who I respected or
happened to be my close friends. Over the years, I've become less prone
to crowd influence (or they are so successful that I merely think so. :))

I've switched to Dvorak I think 18 years ago when I started having aches
on my arms. I can't argue that Dvorak was the reason because I changed
two more things at the same time: split keyboard and Emacs for its word
completion feature (so that I would type less). In the end I'm weirder
because I use Dvorak... and Emacs... and D... and spaces... and no
external monitor... and too many other things... :o)
