Personally, I'm waiting for this feature before I really even play the game. I know it seems nitpicky, but I can't stand not having the edge scrolling. Clicking and dragging wasn't working well for me because half the time I had a ship or something selected and it would think I was trying to move it. I don't like using the arrow keys because that requires me constantly taking my hand off the mouse and moving it to the arrow keys then back again. I really like to move my hand as little as possible (I have my mouse sensitivity up really high so I barely move it to move the mouse pointer) due to carpal tunnel issues. Being able to remap to WASD keys would help as well so my left hand could easily handle it.
So really, I am greatly looking forward to this feature being added.
