Dvorak is not for French. That's what Bepo is for. Dvorak just isn't better enough these days, and linux even has built in Colemak support, so it only has an advantage if you're attached to some products of highly proprietary companies that insist on only supporting qwerty and Dvorak. Except if Dvorak's status as the official alternative counts as a meaningful advantage to you.
