It's good at least in my case because I switch between Dvorak (Corne) and Qwerty (laptop's keyboard) all the time, without positional keymap, I would have to develop two sets of muscle memory
The effective freedom to choose keyboards like Dvorak relates directly
to the privacy of a remote vi not breaking the privacy layer of this
abstraction. Do what we do because the servers won't be updated or
we will specifically lock their choices, etc..
After a few years of trying to get along directly in local
pair programming or similar with people with local largely
insane keymaps I decided to make use of fences and privacy
making good neighbors and I don't want those fences ruined.
Even without my intended uses for this abstraction, positional
habits is the first step of getting people out of the crib,
a crib is easy to sell a start in but not a place to retire.

Helix OTOH looks good.
