(Get the code!)
I see no reason to overload the Alt keys for everyone just to support an unintuitive legacy input method. (Avoiding "confus[ing] new Ubuntu users who are familiar to this method of inputting accents" would entail enabling Alt codes by default.)
If you're regularly typing ¤, ¥, §, °, etc., it's simpler and more intuitive to switch to a relevant keyboard layout, even if you already know the alt-codes.
