Gertrude, I'm surprised! I thought that you had flown cubs and similar airplanes equipped with 'sticks' rather than 'yokes'?

Personally, I started off in gliders (sticks, natch), then learned to fly airplanes in Cessnas (yokes), and over the last two or three years have flown only tailwheel airplanes fitted with sticks. I've never found it particularly difficult switching from one format to the other. IMHO, sticks 'feel' slightly better; but either is quite acceptable.
