> These beautiful keyboards move the Shift and Ctrl keys to your thumbs, which have more power than the lowly pinkies

Absolutely. IMO the CMD key on Macs used with the thumb feels so much more natural from an ergonomic point of view than the Control key used with a pinky.

But not as ergonomic as the Caps Lock being a combination Ctrl/Esc, which is great but which very few people do.

I have been rocking the Caps Lock -> Esc for at least a decade now and absolutely love it. Such a better use of that key.

I have the Hyper Key (additional layer/modifier) on hold and Esc on tap on my Caps Lock. Enables me to have vi-style arrows on home row and window management shortcuts easily.
