Buk: Comparing keyboard/mouse to joystick is kind of like comparing an apple to an orange.
They both serve the same general purpose.
They have similarities beyond that purpose.
They have significant differences and one works better in some situations while the other works better in other situations.
The qualities of each can be overshadowed on an individual basis by personal taste.
The quality of a game can be severely degraded by controller decisions made by the developers. Once you get used to the precision of keyboad and mouse, using a gamepad in a fps is painful. Just like once you get used to using a joystick for flight games, using a mouse is painful.
I wouldn't say FPS on consoles are stupid (GoldenEye will probably forever be on of my favorite games). But the lack of control is irritating.
