I find that using that two finger combination for backspace is tedious, particularly because there are no arrow keys to correct errors without repeatedly pressing backspace.
Speaking of "discouraging use of the arrow keys", Imagine using ASETNIOP with vim: Despite the combo probably being a disaster in many ways, vim's use of y and p might ease some of the copy/paste issues.
At least we(QWERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, and ASETNIOP EDIT: Not the french though...) can all agree on how to press the letter 'a' (and nearly 'm').
I would point anyone looking for the perfect non-chording keyboard to the kinesis advantage, regardless of your favorite layout. http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/advantage.htm
