I actually really like having § at that position. I have it mapped to a Quake-style terminal, and § means it's not only the correct key, but I don't have to give up a useful key for it.
(This may not translate well for USians; Quake disregarded keymaps, so the console wasn't actually on ~, but on "the key that would be labelled ~ in the US". On UK-PC, that's backtick, on Uk-Mac, that's §.)
