This disconnection is at the core of the FBW / C* law, so it's not some specific degraded thing. It sure is different from a conventional aircraft. It has ups and downs. There is a nice F/CTL page that tells you how really are deflected your elevators if you need it. But it's obviously not meant to be used in a rush, as it's not as "easy" or immediate to interpret as is the stick placement in conventional aircraft.
If the only way to keep the pilot in the loop is, in your eyes, strictly proportionnal stick and surfaces displacements, then I understand you don't like FBW aircraft. I suppose you weighted pro and cons?
