Why do people love the Gamecube controller?

Because they love Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Basically. But it was really comfortable as well.  Looking back though, the Z button and d-pad were pretty bad. And today the ABXY is a problem for 2d platformers and any modern game that uses the SNES ABXY.

Whats weirder is I find the controller stick on the GamePad much easier to tilt in Smash than my old GC controller so I don't even use the GC controller for its main function anymore
