This is actually a good question. I hope you get some replies from serious gamers.
I am not a serious gamer, but I've always preferred keyboards for FPS and RTS games. Years ago when I tried an FPS game for the first time on a console using a controller it was a disaster and took weeks to get used to.
That being said, normally console FPSes are designed to be much more-forgiving as to response time to account for the controller, and there's typically some level of auto-aim. If you're playing against other players, they're going to be using analog sticks too.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm with you on this, would rather have the mouse, just that I dunno if I'd call it a disaster. It'd be a disaster if people using mice/keyboards were competitively playing against people with analog sticks in an FPS.
