I heard it is also good for english-speakers. Do you think its good, or does it have weakness in your workflows?

I think that it's handy if you need access to all or most of the characters on a semi-regular basis, otherwise it just seems like it would be quite difficult to remember the layout or build up the muscle memory. You would have to be using all of the layers quite a lot to get a handle on it I feel, unless your caps are marked for it.

for programmers characters like '<>;' are very regular use, for them this might be worth it?

Ehh, in Dvorak, or programmers Dvorak, they are just as accessible on the shift layer. I really feel as though the true benefit to Neo is if you need all or many of the uncommon characters not typically offered on other layouts as I previously described.
