TBH I remember when I played WoW, I noticed that ESDF was probably a superior movement option because you have access to more keys around the movement buttons, while ctrl, shift, alt and tab are still within reach AND you have more number keys within your reach.
It's probably tradition. It's been used for a while now, and it works, so why change it? Also if you have small hands you would probably struggle with reaching the all important shift and ctrl keys.
I'd say if it's an issue then you'd probably want a keypad of sorts.

Mostly just because people are used to that, but also because most most games use tab, shift, and control to do things. Like in an FPS they'd be for scoreboard, sprint, and crouch/prone, and in RTSs they're often modifiers for clicking. (Fast move, attack move, selections, etc.)
Just got a computer capable of playing quasi-current games, and the whole keyboard control thing is destroying me. I'm starting Darksiders, and the command to use a special move is to hold caps lock and hit 1, which must also be done while holding shift to target, which also must be done while using wasd. God forbid you want to jump or dash in the meantime. I really don't know how I'm supposed to do this.
i had been a console gamer too for long time. those 16 bit consoles and my ps2 are what i used to play all the time until a couple years ago i got into pc gaming.
i wasnt used to keyboard /mouse setup let alone wsad keys for movement so.i.used the arrow keys for movement.
but a few months ago i gave wsad a shot. it was very difficult to get used to early on.but in.just a week or so i totally became used to it and really prefer it a lot.
so what am.basically saying stick to wsad and in just a few short days you will totally become used to it.
however for pc racing games i.still use arrow keys but just racing games.
i suggest you get yourself a rosewill backlit illuminated mechanical gaming keyboard and enjoy pc gaming!!!

it doesn't make that much of a difference, really. I used to remap to ESDF all the time so that I could have movement modifiers (like run+crouch) in a logical way next to each other (caps+a), but then Skyrim came along which is kinda shady in the way it let's you remap the keys (or not), so by now I alternate between WASD and ESDF, depending on the game.
