As someone who learned touch-typing before FPS controls came out, I still get a little cheeved that Carmack chose WASD instead of the touch typing config of ESDF... (you can get to more keys with a touch typing config, but I have to re-map them in EVERY-SINGLE PC game) /rant ;)

I feel like if we'd just stuck with the cursor keys they wouldn't have atrophied on modern laptop keyboards
