I am french and recently I had to use a qwerty keyboard for programming. The layout is so nice to use I wonder if I will no switch definitely on qwerty. For example the keys '<' '>' and '/' for xml documents. I guess many syntax have been adopted in languages to take profit of keyboard layout.

I think you under appreciated the luck you have using a qwerty keyboard compared to all the international silliness.

As an american living/working in france I feel the pain of the azerty.

Si vous décidez de changer, je recommande le français canadian clavier. C'est le qwerty clavier avec quelque modifications mineures. Je pense que c'est un bon conpromis.

French Canadian keyboard is quite good. It's pretty much "Qwérty". Standard Qwerty but with accents that are easy to reach.
