That's one heck of angle. Why do manufacturers of coolers/stands put them so they tilt towards you? That's just asking for carpal tunnel problems. It should be either flat, or tilted back. Typing on a netbook is bad enough already!
uhmm, I've found myself cobbling together an improvised stand, with a book, a pipe, or whatever placed under the rear of my laptop, to raise the screen up and have some air circulating under it, and I've never find uncomfortable typing on the angled keyboard - quite the contrary.
Anyway, personal feelings aside, I think you see a lot of tilted stands around because that's the only way to raise up the screen - which is even more important for your posture and comfort - while still enabling you to type on the built in keyboard.
It would be totally ankward to type on it if the stand had a rectangular profile. This way, you can still do that and using an external keyboard is a matter of personal preferencies, not a prerequisite.
