I used to use them exclusively, because the arrow keys were poorly supported and inconsitently located on the terminals back then. Today I mostly use the arrow keys. I suspect moving the hand is intutively less "work" than using a modifier key, but it is not a conscious decision. I guess I started with page up/down, which are way easier to use than C-v/M-v, and even than space/del in view mode.
