Old Big Picture versus Deck ui: Adding a Long Press

Which is the better user experience? You tell me, because apparently I'm wrong as plenty of people think the new ui is somehow super amazing 🙄

The whole "extra button presses" may not be a big deal to you, but... go watch my video where it took me an hour to recreate my No Man's Sky configuration - using screen shots as a reference - in old big picture mode and then remember that literally everything in the Deck UI for controller customization takes several additional clicks. This means its a MASSIVE usability issue for people who actually want to change their controller settings beyond what is available in the quick settings.

Oh, one other thing, its actually 11 to add if you wanted to add it to something like the joystick click because you have to navigate to the joystick tab first. Another click if you wanted that long press to be something other than a gamepad binding, because you'd have to go to that tab. Worst case is 12 clicks versus 8. Literally 50% more clicks. This is why I call the new ui "sub menu hell".

The new ui is clean. The new ui is pretty. The new ui is more tedious to use. QED.

I'll eventually have a longer video going over all such differences. Soon ™
