The thing is that the default bindings have to be for something.  If
you're rebinding anyway, then changing the 'squared' feature isn't a
lot of extra work.  I find that the squared feature makes an enormous
difference in usability for regular joysticks on the aileron,
elevator, and rudder axes, enough that it justifies violating the rule
of least surprise.  What does everyone else think?


All the best,
