Is it okay to move WASD over one to ESDF as default player controls?

I realize of course this is an extremely subjective question. But I personally believe ESDF is a superior control. WASD was chosen to be comfortable with the left hand and to minimize rollover. IMHO: We are holding on to WASD for the wrong reasons and we need to give ESDF as alternate default controls.

It's faster to move from ASDF home row. And gives 3-5 additional keys reachable by the pinky.

@greenfox @bram interesting idea, I'm used to the AZERTY keyboard but not all games' default key are ZSQD and often need to change the keys or change my keyboard to QWERTY. ESDF would eliminate this problem.
