True, none of Nintendo's Classic or Pro controllers for the Wii or beyond have GC levels of attention, for sure. I do think this one seems better than what I've seen of the Wii's classic/pro controllers, it's no match for the GC (or N64) controllers in design attention, feel, or what have you. Most of Nintendo's attention went to the Wiimote/Nunchuck, Wii U Gamepad, and the Joycons, respectively, more so than the classic/pro controllers... and perhaps as a result they aren't among Nintendo's best controllers.
But while again I don't have any Wii CC/CC Pros, from what I did use of them the Wii U one does seem like an improvement over them in feel and function. While the absence of analog triggers is unfortunate and should not have happened (the GC controller is better!), the Wii still needed a 6-face-button controller, and since it still doesn't have motion (tilt and such) you need a Wiimote or Wii U Gamepad for anything with tilt (an issue the Switch Pro Controller fixes), it's a decent and good (not great, but good)-feeling controller and probably is worth having, particularly if there are games that support it but don't work with Wiimote+Nuinchuck for non-Gamepad play.
