I think we're just used to the original game's controls. It took me until Zulag 3 to finally get the jist of jumping forward without stepping first. I think all that needs to be changed/improved is a button for forward leap and probably (i know it's unlikely to happen for some reasons) the same technique used when abe is at the end of a ledge and doesn't want to fall off, but standing next to a mine (if you sneak up to it only for precision, otherwise you would just stop walking and it would be too easy.)
