I'll answer myself, the joycons are fairly uncomfortable to use. In handheld mode they're uncomfortable and the d-pad is unusable compared to something like a PS Vita.Separated and docked to that little handheld adapter is better, but still not comfortable. I immediately looked for replacement controllers and found the official Switch Pro Controller which IMO is mandatory. It feels like a better XBox 360 controller.
Also, if you're a PC guy like me (this is my first Nintendo since the SNES) be prepared for sticker shock on the game prices. Even indie games that have been out for years on PC go for $25+, and all the big games are eternally $60+.
I never saw anyone mention how heavy the thing is in handheld mode, it's not usable for longer periods of time unless you have something to rest it on, holding it in bed like a phone or Vita is not going to work for very long. That said it's pretty cool when you can rest it on a pillow or something and be playing pretty sophisticated games.
