Sitting in a nice chair doesn't help you program better, but it sure is comfortable to sit in.
I learned Dvorak a few years ago and I love it. I wouldn't go back at all; it is just too comfortable.
It takes a few months to get back up to qwerty speed (at a logarithmic slope though). If you plan ahead, its not that time consuming. For example, if you have a coding job that you could do in your sleep, that's a perfect time to learn. If you just started a company and need 110% mental effort, don't learn. Personally, I switched about 2 months before I started on my masters thesis and it worked out really well.
However, if you often use other peoples computers (or vice versa), you should seriously think twice about whether it is worth it for you.
One last thing, I would recommend programmers dvorak over regular dvorak. :)
