Does that come from playing something with that config from ages ago and you just stuck with it? I honestly find it interesting how people come up with different configs from the standard wasd etc.

Used to use the arrow keys when I played team fortress classic. Switched to WASD for everything else though, because I don't think any other games I play require such complex movement. Also it was easier to just go into games with the controls already mostly setup rather than rebinding every new game 
I think I started using the arrow keys simply for convenience, and possible also because I like the keyboard to be on the far left when I game. The number pad and keys like 'end' and 'delete' also add nicely to this arrangement.
I quite often use :
end : sprint
delete : zoom weapon
mouse wheel : cycle through weapons (perfect for CS:S)
num 0 = flashlight
etc..

I've seen some guy playing Dark Souls who uses his right index finger to control the camera with the right analogue stick, holds down X with his thumb to run and uses his middle right finger to attack with R1 occasionally (I think he reverts back to what people consider normal in longer fights). Quite weird but allows you to control the camera while running around instead of having to take your thumb off the run button to move the right stick.

my tf2 soldier config is left click switches to and fires rocket, right click is switches to and fires shotgun and mousewheel click switches to and fires melee
Although it seems really random people having +forward on a mouse button isn't as weird as it sounds, as the default in Doom was RMB iirc. My housemate at uni used to use that setup.
Personally I use a fairly standard layout of TFGH (WASD transposed centrally to give access to more keys), although in single player games I usually can't be bothered changing it anymore and stick with WASD.
I still harbour fantasies of Microsoft creating some sort of centralised control mapping system and making support part of GFWL certification whereby you can map keys to common functions in one place and then games interpret those commands so it doesn't matter what keys you use, all the main functions like forward/back/left/right/shoot/reload/crouch/prone/zoom etc would be predefined to whatever you want and you'd only need to manually map a few bespoke keys for each individual game. Kinda like an integration layer approach.
As for the invert mouse thing, regardless of whether you love or hate it, one thing that is dead annoying is that it isn't always used consistently in game menus, sometimes you choose invert mouse but it was already inverted so all you do is change it back ASASERASDFAHJKJHAKSDAGGGGGHASDGDAHAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.
