My biggest gripe with the Joycons is the lack of d-pad for 2d gaming.  I have an 8bitdo SNES30 Pro for docked mode, but in handheld mode, the lack of a dpad is a real issue.

The only 2D game I have for Switch so far is Yoshi's Crafted World, and I got by fine using the left analogue for movement in that. If you play a lot of more classic 2D games I can see the lack of a D-Pad being an issue but it hasn't bothered me yet.

Yeah, for most sprite-based 2D games that require quick movements, I find an analog stick has too much travelling distance, and the 4 face buttons don't work well for diagonal directions.
