Writing greek symbols is sufficiently annoying that I always kind of resent code that does this. It’s not just about the first time you are writing code, but also when you are reviewing it, or trying to share a snippet with a coworker, or lots more scenarios. Maybe it’s just me, but writing ‘z = x ∇ d’ is really tedious.

I think domain-specific keyboard layouts are as much of a good idea as language-specific layouts, but they're a nuisance to install on *nix (trivial on OS X). Using .XCompose is the most practical *nix approach, in the absence of program-specific methods like Julia's tab-completable backslash names.
