Neo is optimized for the German language, not for programming. http://www.neo-layout.org Other languages have a different letter distribution so different keys should be on the home row, for example. Other popular layouts include: Colemak: http://www.workmanlayout.com/blog/ Norman: https://normanlayout.info/ Workman: http://www.workmanlayout.com/blog/
