How to type when using emacs?

On emacs.help a very interesting thread about you, your fingers and emacs is taking place. Is no secret that emacs extensive use of “key combos” is both a blessing and a curse. While they make almost every feature of emacs a few keystrokes away, they can also put your fingers and wrist under continus stress

Between the suggestions to improve the situation are: swap caps lock and control, swap alt and ctrl, change your keyboard layout to dvorak, etc.

Here is the link to the gmane archive of the thread with more links and more comments.
