I think the latter is a real pain on most "keyboard-intensive" editors, as much
of their bindings were designed with an english keyboard in mind.

Thus I think that trying to get away from "special" characters (which I think
show the greater "position variance" across layouts) in commonly used commands
is a good thing if you want to homogenize "comfort" across different keyboard
layouts.

Of course, such kinds of changes are always disruptive, but probably also
decrease the chance of users changing those to bindings that might collide with
other already-existing modules.
