I actually quite like controllers for the purpose they serve, being able to sit back on a coach and enjoy a game on a big screen, something that doesn't feel right for me with a mouse and keyboard, even though they aren't as precise.
Like the article says the main problem is adding another input which will give a considerable advantage to those that use it and splitting the user-base doesn't sound like a good idea. It will be interesting to see how they handle it and we might start to get more cross platform games, which would be good.
