Yes I did! I actually used to have bépo as my primary keyboard layout. My main problem with it is that it only optimizes French, and it (implicitly) deoptimizes everything else. For example “W” is awkwardly placed at the very edge of the keyboard, which makes typing English pretty annoying. Keyboard shortcuts are pretty inconvenient as well. Imho bépo is great if you write pages of raw text every day in French — for example journalists and writers. But apart from this it's not pragmatic for other usages — and I want my keyboard layout to be good enough everywhere, not just at typing French.
