+1

I’m using Finnish keyboard, for \ the key combination is opt-shift-7, then () are shift-8 and shift-9, so very easy. Actually, using @ (opt-2) or $ (opt-4) would be harder, because one would have to switch hands, using opt with right hand and then using left hand for shift for () or opt-shift for {}.
The code is written once, but read maybe thousands of times, so readability is immensely more important.
