Which review are you reading? I just checked thisismynext.com, and not being a regular reader, it looks like they are less enthusiastic:

"As light as the hardware is, the size (10.5 x 6.8 inches) feels overly cumbersome."

Also,

"the lack of multi-touch is pretty disappointing"
"the top triggers are awkward to reach"
"The controller still feels beta to me"

And one item that really bothered me when I saw video and pictures of the controller:

"the right joystick, which itself is more of a multi-direction slider with a smooth top. I didn’t feel like I was battling drones in Ghost Recon Online — more so, I felt like my thumb was fighting the controller to aim where I wanted it to. I’m not sure why these were chosen over other joystick options — the Vita has great sticks, and they don’t stick out obnoxiously at all."

"Paul didn't have as much of a problem as I did, but I found it really hard to grip my thumb on it. Especially irksome during the Ghost Recon demo, trying to aim and fighting by proxy with the multi-directional slider."

"The dual analog sticks aren't the best" (Paul)
