You learn about FLYING in a C152 and as stated it is very forgiving.
I agree that it can be flown badly without disaster. Flown well, it can be made to do just about anything. BUT - as many have said, it is forgiving.I don't personally consider that a good quality in a training aircraft.
If you want to learn to fly on conventional gear, do so. If you don't like the C152 then find an aircraft you do like. It is your time and money.
