I hadn’t seen ESDF in FPS, I personally used to use it in WoW.
But mousewheel scroll is actually a great jump bind for when you precisely need to input the next jump action to time it with the end of the last. This is less an FPS thing and more a movement thing. Spacebar (or other buttons) will only work if you hit it at the precise time, while mousewheel is a lot more forgiving, since it is multiple inputs in quick succession, kind of like the rapid-fire macros. Like I suck at bhopping for example, but I could do some easy bhop sequences in cs 1.6 with scrollwheel, there is no way I would be able to with spacebar.
Same ESDF is my go-to ever since Tribes but it stuck due to MMORPGs making it so much easier to use everything with it.
I never used it after wotlk as I quit wow after and when I came back in BfA i was fine with WASD, i just relied on shift and control layers more.
I never liked it fully because on my keyboards E is offset from SDF noticably more than W from ASD.
