I agree totally. I always hated the german keyboard and would do
anything (including mail order purchasing) to get a US or UK keyboard.
UK is a little nicer as it has a convenient euro key, but they both
are vastly superior for coding than the German keyboard is. With C
like languages you end typing with your thumb almost permanently
pressed on the alt-gr key...
