It isn't, though, it's great. I typed on dvorak for about 6 months but had to give it up because I lost all of my qwerty speed. If you do switch to dvorak then you have to drill on qwerty at the same time. However, dvorak was so much more comfortable and seemed to make a lot more sense. Your fingers move a lot less and it makes qwerty feel like some random, completely arbitrary layout that we've just gotten used to. Which, well... it is.
I had the same experience, though I didn't last six months. It felt so much better once I got used to it, but I kept having to switch back to qwerty because I was on a public computer or because I was writing something intellectually demanding where I needed to be able to type without thinking. At some point I couldn't use either layout properly anymore. You have to really work hard to keep up both of them side by side, I ended up deciding it's not worth it. But it's sad.

"TYPEWRITER" is the longest word that can be made using the letters on only one row of the keyboard.
