I sort of agree, but not as much as I agree with: If you’re an emacs user, HHKB is the keyboard for you. I didn’t seem to take advantage of the switched CTRL placement when using vim at all, which seems like the largest difference between the HHKB and other boards.

If you're a user, a keyboard with programmable firmware is for you. Then your keys are placed where ever you program them to be, which can be changed on the fly too.
