For me it's more a matter of putting as little stress on my hands as possible. Pressing two buttons (shift and key) with one hand is just a little less comfortable than pressing just one key.

Oh I misread the comment I replied to! I thought it was suggesting using the same hand for both letter and shift.

Yes, I see, that would be better if I could get used to it. (I'm pretty sure I use left only.)

Be careful or you’ll start people on eMacs vs. vim.
