I, for one, prefer the vi-style four-in-a-row cursor keys.  I find

+---+---+---+---+
| < | v | ^ | > |
+---+---+---+---+

...maps very well onto four side-by-side fingers.

I must admit, however, that I haven't found the A1000 layout that
horrible since learning the contortions.

Of course, I also played games on the C64 by pressing the right key
combinations to fake the presence of a joystick, so my mind and fingers
may be a bit more twisted than most...
