I mean who ever actually uses braces?
When you say braces are you refering to { and } ?
if so umm...i use them all the time every day. More so than i use probably half the shift functions for the number keys. Most programming languages use { and } so a lot of the programs you use on a daily basis need those keys.
also, you do realize you can install keyboards for different countries so you're keys will behave differently (though the label will stay the same) when i took german in college i installed the german keyboard to make it easier to type stuff in german. you can probably also remap your keyboard manually if you knew what your were doing...or buy a programmable keyboard and set it up however you want.
