w00mif they did that, it'd be more of a stretch. One of the main reasons buy this keyboard is because it's ergonomic. I just bind symbols that I use frequently (ie when programming) to a separate layer on the home row + the one above it on my left hand. Chording a layer switch and home row to type out {}()/\[] is very easy to get used to since it doesn't force you to contort your fingers.
LucienKthere is some value in standard though; am I going to invest 600usd in keyboards to match home and office workspaces? or just learn one and live with the other...
w00mI personally have an ergodox infinity and ergodox ez, and I set slightly different firmware layouts on each; the Infinity configurator isn't as powerful as TMK in some areas, and I haven't gotten around to trying TMK on the infinity.
I have very little trouble switching between my ergodoxes, which are each in colmak, with different bindings on the non-primary layers, and my laptop / microsoft ergo keyboard.
TBH right now, I'm just carrying the infinity home because I like the zealious keyswitches so much more than the browns on my EZ.
There's no reason to spend $600 on keyboards to start with - when I first got the EZ, I left it at work and typed on a membrane keyboard home without any issues other than annoyance at how crappy a keyboad it was. If you later decide it's worth the investment, you can spend another $300 to buy a second - massdrop / inputclub probably isn't going go stop offering a keyboard as popular as this one is.
