I absolutely hate this side of the argument.

I play on the PC, and I use a controller. I can easily switch between 3~4sets of macros without wasting time (micro-managing between the GCD and not losing DPS or Healing time), and I 100% guarantee you I would be fumbling over myself if I tried to do that with a keyboard and mouse. Targeting issues? My mouse is literally inches away from me, and if needed I can instant target someone and cure with my left hand. It's not the tools you have, but how you utilize them to your maximum efficiency.

I'm also part of the FGC (Fighting Game Community), and a similar argument appears there too: gamepads vs. arcade sticks. In the end, the performance comes down to the individual, never the tool you're using.

To be fair, there are games/genres that have clear and superior methods of playing them. Starcraft comes to mind -- I couldn't see a gamepad user micro-managing just as well as a mouse/keyboard user.
