My biggest complaint of modern keyboards is pinky overloading off the home row, particularly on the right hand side of the keyboard.
My second biggest complaint is that CTRL and ALT keys are the second most important after the SHIFT. But on the laptop I'm typing on, they're super small and placed under the hands, and there's a FN and a WINDOWS button between them on the left hand side, making it hard to hit unless you pull your hand off the keyboard so you can see.
The last complaint is doing super spock pinches for weird macros. CRTL-ALT-SHIFT-Z. The last could be fixed by composing, and not requiring the three keys be pressed down together. The SHIFT letter combinations came from the old typewriters where SHIFT key raised the letters so the upper case keys could be struck. And we've stuck with that for better or worse.
