I would say it's more of a hell for lefties since their hand would be so far to the right while they use their left hand to press the keys. Or more likely: Since most people use the left hand for the keyboard and the right hand for the mouse it feels better if you can have both arms more or less stretched straiht out rather then at an angle.

I was once a fan of the arrow keys, but over the past three years I have found the asdw configuration more inviting.

I can't use wasd. I've tried, and I just plain suck at it. I've used arrows for so long (~15 years), that I just can't use anything else. You know that "You can't teach an old dog..." line, well I'm that dog.

And to be honest, there are plenty of keys around the arrows within easy reach, so combined with my 5 button mouse, I hold my own just fine.

WASD usually, but I sometimes use ESDF for games like WoW, so I can bind the surrounding keys to skills.

I've always used arrows, and still do, despite being right handed. I've never seen the need for using wasd. The arrow keys are fine, and there are enough keys surrounding the arrows to make do. For example, you can use 7,4,1, and Ins. Then also Delete, End etc. Then also enter, shift and control. Then some others which can be reached with a little extra movement.

Works fine for me
