As a French living in Germany I love it too. Restricting the wonderful differences between languages just because of the artificial "keyboard entry issue" is a lowest common denominator approach which has no sense at all.
Can you imagine restricting Chinese to just the ideograms you can type on a keyboard?
So, thank you for all the ß in German, the ø in Norwegian, the œ in French and all these small variations which are making my lectures a bit more tasty.
FWIW the French ç is a pain to type on a German keyboard too (hooray for compose-comma-c on Linux) but I like these quirks of our languages that all share a variation of the same alphabet but took it in different directions.
