The triggers will feel strange, definitely... because they're vibration enabled (which is also why the controller is heavier). You'll get vibration feedback right in the triggers, which is neat in shooters and racing games especially.

Actually, there is. You need to go into Settings and turn off 'Instant on' mode. I'm not near my console but it's in there somewhere (required for EU countries that legally require an option to shut an energy-consuming device down completely), but that will disable a few things. Voice control 'Xbox On' will not work, and instant resume of games you were playing won't work. Console boot time will be longer as well. Also, this will disable automatic updating.
When instant-on is enabled, the console will download updates overnight so you don't have to spend time applying them when you turn on the TV. This addition was at the request of a TON of beta testing employees whose significant others were getting ready to throw their console out the window because it kept wanting to apply console updates when they wanted to watch TV.

Pin your frequently used things to your Home screen. That's what I did, made it much nicer to use.
