Yeap.
It's funny seeing younger gamers react to older stuff. One of my friend's sons is 12, and he came over to play various retro systems. Basically PS2 is super SUPER old to him, and he grew up playing 360 exclusively. He hated all of the old controllers except the Xbox OG, Dreamcast and PS1/PS2 controllers, I'm guessing for reasons of familiarity.
In terms of quality, assembly, action, accuracy, etc, the GC controllers are pretty bad. And the D-pad is a hilarious joke, it's smaller than a Gameboy D-pad. I give Microsoft a fair amount of crap, but the same era Xbox OG controllers, both the S and the big monster model absolutely shine in comparison.
Serious GC players often seek out the legendary Hori import models, as they bring the quality and precision that at least are up to par (they are still smallish with nonsensical layout).

@bolded: Couldn't disagree more - unless you're talking strictly the D-pad, which does suck on the GC controller.

The GC controller was very well made, and worked fine in every non-FPS game out there. The build quality and precision were all perfect.

Indeed. Fantastic controller all the way around (aside from the D-pad, as I mentioned).
