Excepting PVP, where m+kb no doubt has the edge, I'm really not sure why people seem to have such difficulty with controllers. Even for FPS, with auto-aim disabled (bugs me that if you plug a controller in many games turn aim assist on...)
I occasionally play the odd FPS (not an FPS fanatic by any means) and a controller has always been fine. I typically go with Normal/Medium difficulty and can't say I've ever had a problem beating single-player FPS games with a controller.
Perhaps some people just hate the idea of using a controller and don't give it a fair shot..
Also for me a controller is much more comfortable than kb+m gaming. Although it's possible to get RSI from either.
Maybe I am just so used to PC gaming but playing FPS on console feels horrible with a controller. Aiming feels so robotic and clunky opposed to the smooth, slick swipe of the mouse.. I had an Xbox one for over a year instead of a PC and tried my best to settle for it but in the end I was like nah, this really isn't for me. Missed playing with a mouse for FPS games. Always felt like it was so slow aiming on a stick and I was gimping myself playing on console/controller. I have been playing games on PC since I was about 12 mind.
