Why do people love the Gamecube controller?

[Cloudman]

Personally I love the GC controller and it's my fav one to use because of how comfy it is in my hands! It feels like a glove, and the different shaped buttons def make it easy for me to tell the buttons apart. I would say it is close to perfection. Just make the D-pad better and you got the perfect controller xD And I originally thought the controller looked like a stupid kids toy before I used it...
