They need to get used to it. We can't keep legacy crap forever just to make
people happy or we'd still be using typewriters.

+1, but sadly that got turned off by default in most European layouts (where
it used to default to on) because it makes Shift+RAlt (in that order) behave
(completely) differently than RAlt+Shift (in that order) and people got used
to using Shift+AltGr to select the 4th level (and e.g. the Polish layout
relies on the 4th level for a commonly-used character (?, which ironically I
used the Shift+AltGr compose (which I enabled manually) to enter ;-) )).
So there too, a useful feature got disabled by default just to make people
happy who don't want to change their legacy habits to adapt to a superior
system. :-(
