The only reason the gamepad controls sucked was because of the deadzone issue, and they fixed it pretty quickly.
The default controls were fine and iirc they were remappable, so I don't really see the problem.
I used the keyboard. It was also remappable, so my issues were more about the way they were integrated with the gameplay (e.g. press jump, then half a second later press the direction; Hold down like three buttons to throw a grenade that will invariably blow up too soon because you were fiddling with all three and couldn't work out which one to press to release it). Also, the process of remapping the gamepad controls was pretty much impossible if you didn't have an Xbox controller. Editing a text file is all very well, but if you don't know which button has what labels, it's simply not going to work.
