I find them incredibly ergonomic, another bonus is that it provides the same defaults found in most terminal emulators. Most people try to use pinky for Ctrl, or map to Capslock, but using the side of your palm for Ctrl is really comfortable. I generally run circles around colleagues in a terminal or working with text, especially when utilizing macros, but the learning curve is definitely steeper and took some time to get used to.

Keyboards that put Ctrl and other important keys under your thumb are also great.

  Makes sense. I just use qwerty, side of palm for Ctrl and thumb for Alt. I understand if that's not intuitive to new users, but it becomes comfortable and efficient pretty quickly.
