I prefer the keyboard I am used to and I hate all others.  I wish
manufacturers would choose one layout and stick to it instead of messing
about with "improved" layouts.

Sure if the `Shift' and `return' keys are in positions which avoid you
having to project your pinkie (little finger) out of its socket, then
that is an advantage.  But it is a far less of a factor than avoiding
the situation where `Control' on one keyboard is where `Shift' is on
another, or `Return' on one keyboard is where `delete' is on another.
