On most builds, it's not too difficult to fall into a pattern of wiring your row pins on one side of the keyboard, then placing the column routes on the reverse side of your keyboard. While there are newer projects like ZMK targeting wireless keyboards and FAK targeting keyboards based off the CH55X chip, QMK's still the gold standard when it comes to working with wired keyboards. QMK's not only having to deal with keyboard designers like myself, but also beginner users who have bought a prebuilt QMK keyboard and just need assistance walking through updating their keymap.
