I have long fought the battle by spouting the many advantages of ESDF, but WASD is just too ingrained in people's heads.

- stephengillie 13y agoI'm not sure of many advantages, other than having an extra button or 2 available for the pinky finger. Otherwise it's basically just a matter of shifting your keyboard about an inch right or left. I started as a WSAD user in 1999, but I turned EDSF in 2004. (And I'll argue the letters should be arranged in "up-down-left-right" pattern, not "up-left-down-right" :p )

I'm more about the speed of things. I played a ton of twitchy 1v1 UT2k4 and had all weapons that would see real use mapped to a key right around my left hand. Also, jump on right click. Jumping was crucial to movement and the throw time for the spacebar had an (to me) noticeable effect.
