I got used to what I have at hand. When I was playing around with 
bootloaders, there was no way to change the keyboard layout, but the 
default was English.

When I helped an Italian colleague, I first changed to English, because 
that was available, but forgot to change back. He was mad at me for that, 
and I learnt to deal with Italian layout.

When I was in Belgium, stuck with a French layout, I got used to that, 
too.

Only the Japanese and Dvorak layout were a little hard on me.

All in all: I usually just leave the keyboard layout as-is.

Hth,
