Because with layers (holding down a key to change what other keys are doing) you can have the arrows, numbers or F-keys right under your fingers. So you don't have to move your hands so much to use them, and some people really like that idea.

I'm very much against fewer keys (I have lots of space!) but really like how the F keys are now layer+numkey. I don't have to stretch my fingers and lose no functionality otherwise.

  It’s bad for IDEs and Excel etc. where you often already have one or two modifiers plus F-key.

    Hmm, maybe. I don't use anything that requires a modifier with an F key, that might be why.
