YOU BET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I 100%, totally, completely, entirely, exhaustively, sincerely
agree with you.

The following is completely my personal opinion,
and has nothing to do with the real statistics.

I believe that more than 90% of PC users in the world
DON'T CARE where the caps_lock or ctrl is located.
Among the rest 10%, 9% are emacsen or other extensive-unix-users,
and the rest 1% are english-document-typists.
Is it so important for typists to have the caps_lock there?

BTW, I now use the kinesis contoured keyboard
(http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/) for my desktop.
I really hate that meaninglessly slanted key layout.
