What are the improvements? As a french programmer I switched to Qwerty because I want to be able to work anywhere I have to and it is pretty much standard. All the common programming symbols are easily reachable and I like not to have shift in order to access numbers. A compose key and/or international layout with the Alt Gr dead key works fine for me. The version with various dead key would work well if not for the weird symbol you get when you type ' twice. (In order to get a regular ' you need to ' then Space bar, could never get used to it.) I just don't understand why we are not switching either to bépo (Dvorak equivalent for french) or just have a French QWERTY, it's not that much of an effort to switch from AZERTY to QWERTY.
