US layout is indeed the only sensible way to program in languages
designed for US layouts, which pretty much includes most mainstream
languages.

If you are not man enough to learn Dvorak, that is ;-). I recently
switched over, and did some additional keymap tweaking like switching
'8'/'(' and ')'\'9' so that I won't need to press shift for
parens. Numbers like 8 and 9 are useless for coding - everything
beyond 0 and 1 implies a flawed design.
