Oh dear, why? Abrasive aesthetics aside, this is bad for people with certain non-English keyboard layouts. Not me, but many do exist.

Better for people with English keyboards though. And I prefer the aesthetics.
Point taken. I forgot that brackets are not shifted on my keyboard.
They do require worse acrobatics than a shift key on a German keyboard, though - one of the Alt keys is special and needed to trigger them, if memory serves.
Well, that's another argument for everyone to use an English layout for coding, I suppose.
Is it better for English keyboards because () are shifted and [] are not ?
