These days QWERTY keyboards are optimal because programs, programming languages and text formats are optimized for QWERTY keyboards.




Depends on the language no? Qwerty isn't great for APL.

I have a QWERTZ keyboard!

Is my digital life at a natural end now?


If you mean the default German keyboard layout then, yes, putting backslashes, braces and brackets behind AtlGr makes it sub-optimal in my book. Thankfully what's printed on the keys is not that important so you too can have a QWERRTY keyboard if you want.
