I think that the biggest problem with the AltGR is the "one size fits all" philosophy.
In some languages (like French) there isn't simply one variant of a letter.
If I want to hit a "special E" there are two variants, 'é' and 'è'.
In other languages (like German) there is only one "special" letter per letter.
If I'm typing German I'd like to type AltGR-a for 'ä' but I have to use 'q' because 'a' is already taken.
