In fact, if you can only look in 3 directions compared to the gamepad's analogue look your are surely at a disctinct disadvantage, no (in sim, anyway - padlock view obviously negates this)? Sure, you can argue that you have finer control over the plane, but that only really matters when it comes to shooting, and you can get close enough to your target such that it doesn't matter...

Both Edal and Mirgervin use gamepads, but then they're both noobs so who cares?
