I totally agree. Its really annoying needing to type $ all the time, not to mention how hard it is on Norwegian keyboards. Lets replace it with £ !
Like most programming languages PHP is optimized for American keyboard layout, deal with it! Fx. I especially like the placement of the MySQL escape character ` on Nordic keyboards: press Alt-gr and |, release them and then press space.
