Who designed this idiotic keyboard layout and why?

They took the original US layout, with its known problems (asymmetry and unnatural finger positions) and managed to make it worse! Here two of the most used keys, left shift and enter, are twice further from home row. Who designed this crap? Are they screwing with us or are they just dumb?

I actually find it paintful to type on this crappy thing. Now I have to spend even more money for a US replacement part, just to get a decent keyboard that won't give me RSI



'EU keyboard'? I thought each European country had its own keyboard. Mine has a pound sterling sign on it which I really doubt is on a French keyboard, and theirs go AZERTY instead of QWERTY, and when I lived in Norway they had their own weird thing with æ ø å but not, like, Greek.
