No! Tilde/backtick key, are you kidding?

I use those almost as much in a development setting as Esc!

You cut off the rest of my comment, I said the Fn key turns it back into the Backtick/Tilde key.

Other than "Shell" programmers, I don't think the backtick is really that popular. System and embedded programmer would probably be frustrated without simple access to the tilde for bit flipping, but overall, I think having ESC back make the most number of people happy.
