Yeah this kills me too, I use layering so much that switching to a standard keyboard is borderline crippling.

Still worth it though

I've been using the Kinesis Advantage (and it's kin) since 2000. I can switch back and forth to standard boards without losing speed or making errors. There are several replacement controllers for the Advantage that will let you use QMK and other custom firmwares.
