A heckuvalot of people agree with you.

For myself, I can't get my head around the attraction to the 
mushy/spongy feel keyboards. How can you tell if the key has been 
pressed? If I get some feedback (or for the Model M, "report" is more 
accurate ;-)  ) from the keyboard it seems that that allows me to 
actually use less pressure than if I got no feedback.

I wonder how/whether they actually measure "ergonomic" in terms of the 
actual keypresses, as opposed to the layout.
