Most FPS players prefer it over dual analog because, well, having face buttons for movement is the bees knees.
And though its been said, that was an article to do exactly what we're doing. So i've already cheapened myself by posting here.
There's also thousands of mods to use PS2 controllers on the PC. No mods for the 360 controller, well that's because no mods are needed. It's USB. Oh, there's also lots of mods to use everything from SNES to Genesis on the PC.
At any rate, don't get me wrong, it did what it did well enough for me to play the games I wanted. However, every controller since it has been an improvement.
Oh, I'd rather not pay money on some 3rd party rubbery thing (or cut up one of those gritty shower things) just to fix this problem. The fact is, Nintendo started it, but there was room for improvement, and every company, Nintendo included, had to fix the issues with it. I know I myself much prefer later control stick models using 2 grips instead of 3. Well aside from that, the 6 button face layout and that Z button are well done.
