If you're used to a Lisp Machine, as I am, you should at least appreciate that
Apple did duplicate "super/meta/control" keys on both sides of the space bar.
Although I had to modify the KMAP resource and swap key caps to put them in
the right order:  command/option/control-space-control/option/command.  You're
right about the frequent use of the control key and I'm thankful that I can
now conveniently reach it with my thumb while the rest of my fingers type.
Now, if I could only use the caps lock key for rubout...
