Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
I've owned both a 3DS and 3DS XL. The 3DS has horrible ergonomics and is uncomfortable to play longer than 30 minutes.
When playing games, especially those that require L and R, I like to rest my index fingers on those buttons. However, with the way the 3DS opens, there's very little room to put your fingers on those buttons because the screen when you flip it up covers half of the buttons, so your fingers will be rubbing against the back of the screen itself.
The start, select, and home button on the original 3DS don't seem to like to work unless you put a ridiculous amount of pressure on them.
The problems have been resolved on the XL. There's more than enough space behind the screen for you to rest your index fingers on and the start, select, and home button are different and easy to press.
I liked the power button on the original 3DS better, but it's fine with the XL.
