#2Why nowadays keyboards usually don't have L-shaped Enters? I can't imagine productively working without it...
Re: Typing stealth: a review of the CODE Keyboard
#3This layout still feels inferior next to my http://trulyergonomic.com/ keyboard. I was really skeptical at first, especially with the price tag - but I'd never go back now.

Steelseries mechanical keyboards generally have L shaped enter keys. It's part of the reason why I never bought one.
I understand your opinion as a matter of preference, but why does your productivity require it?

The layout looks great, with an easier layout to learn than my DataHand--but do you ever miss the option/Windows key being in a convenient location? Or is the diamond convenient enough? My Topres require as little as 35g of pressure--what is the activation force required here? And do you miss being able to type "cd" quickly with a two finger combo due to the straight columns?

I'm a programmer, so as opposed to prose-like text typers, I heavily use Enter for newlines. And I exclusively use my right hand's pinky finger to press it without precise aiming/thinking/looking.
It is really hard for me to do this for non-L Enters.

I'd consider it if the arrow key / edit block hadn't been destroyed.
I do a lot of editing with the arrow keys + insert / delete / home / end / page up / page down block. Generally, all cuts, pastes, block moves etc. are done with those, especially since Ctrl-{C,X,V} are not convenient with a Dvorak layout.
For similar reasons I've never gotten a keyboard that mucked around with the 6 keys above the arrow keys.
