My understanding is that NeXT intends to de-emphasize Unix to the
point of obliteration; consequently the need to regularly use
characters such as \ or | will become a non-issue.

You have to judge for yourself whether or not this is desirable or
not.

I've used enough bletcherous keyboards that I suspect I could get used
to just about anything.
