I liked the old design which was more influenced by tablets than controllers. It had a simpler look and was thinner making it easier to hold by the edge instead of gripping. And Nintendo, just print the U symbol on the U controller.

Personally, I like the adition of those handles. The last thing you want while playing a demanding game is a controller that slips under your hands.

The change to sticks and the new placement of some buttons are also welcome.

I agree.  The new curved handles look far more comfortable and more ergonomic.  I love the sticks and new button placement as well, though I do have to agree with @I am awesome that it looks a bit bulkier and not as compact as the original design.  Hopefully they rectify that.
