What are you in that your local ISO layout has these issues? The Irish layouts on X and Windows don't have this issue and makes typing just about any diacritic easy, though I go a bit further and use the UnicodeExpert variant. MacOS, OTOH, has issues unless I switch to an ANSI layout.

I was not claiming any local ISO has trouble typing other characters with compose key or similar.

My point was that ANSI is more ergonomic than ISO for programming, and all local characters are still easy to type.
