I stopped reading after the Page Up comment. Keyboard preferences are obviously subjective and the author of the post feels very strongly in a way that I don't agree with.

I used the wireless Apple keyboard for a while but I missed Home/End/Page Up/Page Down. Also had a lot of trouble swapping it back and forth between my OSX and Windows machines.

At least the CODE keyboard will add more variety. At the end of the day that's what people really need.

Mac has remapped CMD+[arrow] to Home, End, PgUp, PgDn. I think it's much easier that way than to have them way off to the side.

I don't agree. I use a full size wired Apple keyboard now and use the PageUp/PageDown buttons. I prefer it that way. Also Home/End scroll to the top and bottom of the entire document vs the beginning and end of a line and I've had to fix that in software settings.

That said, everyone has their preferences. I think someone else in the comments mentioned how it would be nice to have a fully 100% customizable keyboard. I agree with that idea.
