How do Switch users feel about the joycons?

I'm not a gamer, but the original Switch joycons always struck me as overly complicated and expensive. It should be cheaper to manufacture and sell Switches with the controllers attached. Indeed, this is what they did with the Switch Lite. For games that take advantage of joycon functionality, Nintendo could have sold something like an updated Switch version of the Wiimote as an optional accessory.

Do users who are happy with their Nintendo Switch have a favorable opinion of the joycons, or would you be happy without them?

There are plenty of alternative controller options for the Switch, it's not that much of an issue.

For portable play, yes, the stick drift issues suck, but Nintendo will fix it for you. And yeah, most portable systems today overall just have better analog sticks.

But if I'm at home I'm going to be using a Pro controller or an 8bitdo or something like that.
