Depends on who you talk to.  SUN and DEC keyboards put the ctrl key just
left of the A and the caps lock key below the left shift.  They also
stick \ where enter is supposed to be and sometimes don't have an escape
key (which makes vi a barrel of fun to use).  

Some people prefer that layout, but most people who grew up with the PC
style keyboard intensely dislike them.
