I remember being upset about this - I'd been using keyboards with the
delete key in the right place for years, and then this happened.   IBM
is also famous for moving the control key from its rightful place to
the left of the A down to the left of the meta key, which they renamed
the alt key.

Fundamentally, we are simply suffering from change, and dealing with
it as best we can.   When I was a boy, keyboards were laid out in
what, to me, was the correct way.   Now they're laid out completely
wrong.   Fortunately, I run NetBSD, an operating system that
acknowledges the indisputable fact that keyboards *have* no inherent
nature.
