I actually find Portuguese QWERTY better for programming. It's got all the braces in 'the right places' (that is, in the same place you'd find them in an US/UK keyboard), and it doesn't have the 'ñ' character that is completely useless in anything but Spanish. (note: I grew up in Argentina, so I'm used to Argentinian keyboards, maybe Spanish keyboards use a different distribution?)
