All of it, Lyman - that's why people like Gordon Corps were onboard.
Leaving aside the sidesticks for a moment, the rest of the design was probably one of the most ergonomically friendly in airliner history. One of the reasons I miss 411A is because he could wax lyrical on what a pig the early 707 cockpits were (and different for every customer initially!).
The fact that I could take off, follow the FD and land the sim with minimal instruction* - having not been in a real aircraft cockpit since I last climbed out of an AEF Chuckmunk 18 years ago - shows that it is pretty intuitive to the novice.
[* - Not to underplay the instruction I did get, which was concise, to the point and everything I needed to do it - I can't thank those involved enough. ]
