I know exactly what you mean. I flew a Lancair Super ES and absolutely
hated it. It felt like sitting in a Barcalounger playing Nintendo.

Maybe it's just prejudice from habituation, but as far as I'm concerned,
side sticks suck. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I got to try one in
an F-16!

One nice thing about wheels and centered sticks is that you can change hands
from time to time, or even use two hands if desired.
