Depends.
I come from the old glory days of the FPS.
Arrow keys - Move
Ctrl - Fire
Space - Open Doors
Shift - Run
- Strafe
[] - Change Item
Enter - Use Item
Page Up - Look up
Page Down - Look down
And using a mouse was heresy.
I was really awkward with WASD when I first started using it, but now it's natural.
However, I still prefer ESDF. Why? It's the same thing moved over one space. My friends can't naturally find those keys, but I find F easy because of the notch on it. They find the tab and capslock keys easier.
Personally, I love having QAZ for extra keys. I change guns with W and R (previous and next) and don't use the scrollwheel for that at all.
It usually works like this:
ESDF = move, WR = guns.
T = generic talk
G = generic "use"
A = reload
Q = something else. (Flashlight, translocator, hoverboard, medkit, etc etc.)
C = crouch
X = prone or something else
V = some talk menu or something else
Z = something I don't need to hit much but when I need to, I can do it quick. Grenade or something.
Space = Jump
I don't use shift for anything much, tab is usually score, capslock is usually eh...
Jump is space or rightclick (depends on if I'm playing tribes or not, or if the game has alt-fires or not)
But yeah.
It's just WASD moved over so I can use my pinky for more keys. ie: be more efficient.
Edit: Yes, I voted Other.
