I'm of the opinion of many others...I hope they allow us to customize the hotkeys any way we want. Particularly the option of a grid style system would be nice as well.

I'm already extremely adapted to the SC2 keys. I play Protoss, and although I got the SCBW system down quickly, the SC2 hotkeys are a lot more fluid.

Don't forget to add the unit abilities either. As of now I can only see the upgrades for the abilities and not the hotkeys for actually using them :p

There's no grid setup that works if you have a dvorak keyboard.
as soon as you build a warpgate it assigns warpgates to y, which is where attack is on the dvorak grid, meaning you can't order your units to attack anymore.

the lack of custom hotkeys is unforgivable, that's the most basic user interaction rule.
