I'd say a far better layout than HHKB is the KBC Poker.
By holding the Fn key, it changes WASD into the arrow keys; a much more familiar layout to anyone who has ever played a game on a computer. There's also a hotkey to switch right shift, right alt, right menu, and right ctrl into up/left/down/right respectively. This again, I think makes perfect sense for the few situations you might want to be able to single press arrow keys. It also supports this sort of toggle for switching escape and tilde, which is very friendly for anyone who hits escape more often than tilde (probably almost everyone.) It also has things like volume control media keys via the Fn key that I don't believe any HHKB has.
