Absolutely. As a multimedia producer, I can not use a keyboard without numpad, not only with blender, but with many other open source or proprietary software.
Especially Adobe products are terrible with keyboard shortcuts, where in some cases you can not edit (AE) or can not map properly in non US layouts.
