Why do tenkeyless layouts dominate over "nav-less" designs?

zegonix:
i felt the same for quite a while. but a few years ago i bought a KBD67 by accident.. (meant to buy a Tiger Lite ..... yes, i am stupid). i was disappointed at first, but i gave it a try, using layers of course, and while the KBD67 (at least my unit) is utter garbage, i have never looked back. the biggest keyboard i have used on a daily basis since then is the cycle7.

but as already mentioned, i heavily rely on layers, otherwise i would need a TKL.
(i use caps lock and the key to the right of space as layer shifts.)

julimma:
For me, I can't live without the directional keys. But the numpad can be easily replaced by the number row.

clay:
People just hate numpad in the hobby generally, so they would rather have a large keyboard without a numpad, than a compact one with numpad.
