I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I have the wired full-width apple aluminium plank thing.
I like it despite it being Apple and coming with all the terrible design decisions that entails - very difficult to clean, uses a layout halfway between UK and US, has symbols on it that make no sense, etc.
It feels nice, has an incline that, while not adjustable, is about right for me, and it looks smaller than it is meaning it doesn't dominate my desk. It also has USB ports on either side which will take something low-power like a mouse, meaning less scrabbling around with cables. Won't take anything like a USB drive with a bulky casing because of how it's too cramped, likewise don't put one of those tiny flush drives in unless you want to have to use a screwdriver to get it back out, but it's better than nothing.
Overpriced, though: I paid about £25 for each keyboard (I have 2) on ebay because the Apple price is unreasonable.
