The main issue is that '\' sucks as a map leader... it's placed differently on almost every keyboard out there and it's right next to the enter key a lot of the time. Making a mistake once in a while is OK but when you hit the key a hundred times an hour, making mistake after mistake after mistake is a real pain in the butt. The ',' key is easily accessible and universally placed - using it as a map leader is far preferable to me, and <c-e> is mostly useless considering there are *so many* other ways to scroll around.

I’ll keep using ‘,’ as a mapleader, thanks :)
