Really? I've never once had a situation where my fingers slide off of the Ps3 analog triggers. And I just wasted my time going into my livingroom to press it and see if it's an issue.

Not even close.

If you are holding the controller correctly, your middle finger will be right where the trigger ends. It's impossible for your index finger to slide off unless you're holding the controller wrong or you are missing some fingers...

I think you are missing the point here. Those of us who said we don't like the PS3 controller were not asking for a revolution, just tweaking it a bit. Exactly what Microsoft has done going from the S to the 360. In fact, given the response to the Wii, Kinect, and Move, not sure controller revolutions are too popular around here... except BaB.
The Ps controler has been 'tweaked' multiple times. For example, the above issue you brought up with the analog trigger. On Ps2 there was no trigger, just 4 small buttons.

-EDIT-

And cause I'm ultra bored and know you don't have a Ps3, I've attached some pictures I just took.
