If you play with a keyboard, it felt bad because you didn't rebind your keys. Proper legacy mode setup requires swapping some keys around:

The devs have chosen, strangely, to make certain keys function differently between legacy mode and standard mode, rather than maintaining key functionality but just removing standard mode's camera snap. If you change these keybinds so that your keyboard uses the same keys in legacy that you would have used in standard, you might find it fixes any perceived issues you have with legacy mode so that you can use it all the time.

Code:
Key    Standard                      Legacy
===    ==========================    ==========================
W      Move Forward                  Move Forward
S      Move Back / Walk Backwards    Move Back / Walk Backwards
Q      Strafe Left                   Move Left / Turn Left
E      Strafe Right                  Move Right / Turn Right
A      Move Left / Turn Left         Point Camera to the Left
D      Move Right / Turn Right       Point Camera to the Right
If you rebind your keys so that Legacy's Move [Left|Right] keys are the keys you were using for standard Strafe, and you bind Legacy's Point Camera [Left|Right] keys to use the keys you were using for standard Move [Left|Right], your legacy movement will become "standard movement, but you never backpedal and the camera never snaps in a disorienting way".


The biggest issue with Standard movement is backpedalling. Legacy mode is far superior to Standard where running away is concerned because you can run directly away from a target without having to take the time to turn your camera. However, Legacy strafing diagonally back still forces a backpedal, so to maintain its no-backpedalling behavior you have to rebind your legacy keys to use the Move/Turn keys instead of the Strafe keys. However x2, this then introduces the camera arcing that some people find disorienting.

There are two possible fixes. One is to stop the camera from arcing on Move. The other is to make the Strafe keys in Legacy mode function as direct Left/Right movement keys with no backpedalling.
