I don't really mind, i like both.
But in the end, you hands are symetrical and you use both sticks at the same time for a FPS for instance, it makes sense to have the 2 thumbs in the same position ^^
But on the other hand, the D-pad is practically never used as such so why have it at the resting position of the thumb and not the stick !
It's fine to me I like both !
I'm glad they are moving on a new design, it seems to me that it will be more comfortable (like the Xbox one and Switch pro controllers)
