You're right that it's subjective. I do think the Ergodox is much better than standard keyboards, I just find the large number of (for me) unused keys detrimental.

Yeah I have slightly smaller hands. I also have problems with my right thumb that makes me extra sensitive.

Btw if someone wants to compare the key positions of popular keyboards see this site: https://jhelvy.shinyapps.io/splitkbcompare/
