I learned vi after switching to Dvorak - so I don't have any vi-Qwerty muscle memory. That makes for a painful 5 minutes at someone else's desk, but they pick up vim commands better if I tell them what to do.
I echo the RSI sentiments though. Dvorak is more comfortable for myself. I'm somewhat tempted to try Programmer's Dvorak for the brackets/braces/parens at some point, but I do like having my (Dvorak) TypeMatrix 2030 keyboard reflect my actual keymap.
I tried the programmer dvorak and, though it has some more accessible keys, the number keys as 753190246 and the fact you needed to type it holding shift (or pressing caps) eventually seemed worse than normal way, point being I type a lot more numbers in a row than symbols in a row, so holding shift or pressing caps for numbers got very frequent
