I have no real problem with remapping, I do it on my ThinkPad for when I'm not at my desk.

Really it boils down to the fact that I dislike the capslock key taking up valuable real estate. From my perspective has no real use, I never type more than the odd word in caps. I want to reward companies who omit it in the hope more will follow.

I use vim so hjkl are natural to me, but I got used to the diamond in short order and don't have any issues switching between them.

Let's hope not, I really like my comfortable ectra escape key. The pictures I saw when quickly searching for HHKB looked incomplete to me, control is fine in the corner!

Hopefully we'll have all options though, a comfortable keyboard is a must.
