I myself need æøå / ÆØÅ and sometimes é.

I have just learned the option-keys for these (and dead keys for the  
accented characters). I write far less danish prose than I write  
code, so this is an overall gain. And it’s definitely easier to press  
option-a for å then it is to press opt-shift 7, 8, 9 for \, {, }  
respectively, or even cmd-opt-shift 8/9 for previous/next tab in  
Safari ;)

I actually ordered an international keyboard by accident, but as they  
say, there are no accidents -- I was already pretty fed up with the  
danish layout at the time, and I knew that DHH was a proponent for  
the US keymap (he’s also a Dane), so it was certainly a good mistake  
I made ordering that keyboard.
