... even for non-German, non-Dutch speakers. When I started using LilyPond some years ago I always used the English encodings, xf and xs, but now I invariably use the default, xes and xis, when transcribing. I think that's because they are so much easier to vocalise internally, making it easier to remember a musical phrase between reading and typing.
