I might be missing something, but I don't understand your complaints:<p>- You can still hit shift with your pinkies in essentially the same position as traditional Qwerty.<p>- There's a control key in the "correct" position, next to the A, which is less of a stretch than PC keyboards with control in the bottom corners.<p>- Yes, you need to move your hand to reach the cursor keys, but how is this worse than Qwerty (where you need to move it even farther)?<p>- Backspace is a thumb key on this keyboard and requires no finger movement, while on Qwerty it's one of the least-accessible keys.<p>- PC Qwerty keyboards <i>do</i> require you to move your fingers more than one key left or right.  Depending on your exact keyboard model, how else do you type backspace, Enter/Return, Escape, right-bracket/right-brace, pipe/backslash, or equals/plus?  (These are totally common keys for programmers, and backspace/enter/return are common for everybody.)
