it's a pleasure to hit them! but they are moving to island-style keyboards: http://www.wired.com/reviews/2012/06/lenovo-thinkpad-x230/

(btw i binded caps lock to ESC with `xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' -e 'keycode 0x42 = Escape'`, much better for VIM)

I guess I can go either way on the chiclet keyboard. But why would they go back to the tiny delete key?

Switch to chicklet keys and I might as well get a MBP. The whole point of Thinkpads is that IBM/Lenovo & CO leave the design alone.
