I'm better OP chassis pilot on each side (like everyone else lol), but IS feels way more comfortable anyway.

IS by quite a margin. Lower facetime/heat etc Combined with general tankiness means my favoured aggressive playstyle works out more.

Generally and broadly speaking I find that I do equally well in a Clan or IS mech but it specifically depends on the mech and/or role I am playing. There are just some things that the Clan does better than IS and other that the IS does better as Clan. I honestly could write a book about the subtle differences between the two factions and which one excels where and at which role but it is pretty safe to say the both sides have excellent mechs.

That's fine. I personally wanted the power creep to go down, and PGI's nerfs had accomplished that to certain extent. IS LL is decent when paired with ERMLs for IS version of las-vomit. Clans still have clear edge on the laser department but PGI has noticed the imbalance and they are not sitting idly about it. Either the next patch, or the one after that will tell.

While I'm of a similar camp of not wanting more power creep, the IS LL was not power creep by any stretch of the imagination. At the very least it should've been left alone.

True, but the fact of the matter is that IS LL is getting used more. Mostly cause IS LPL is now bad, but the result is the same.

But they nerfed IS LL too. They changed its duration to be as long as IS ERLL, so the only advantage it has is heat.

Just a small note, the LL has a better cooldown than the ERLL.
I actually use both, though I somewhat prefer the LL since most engagements are well within the LL-range.

Would hate to see me playing IS Mechs now. I am rustier than a Detroit parking lot in February.

I do better in my IS. clans have the high alpha and range but IS have better hit and run mechs and usually higher dps which means while a clan clanker is over heat shut down I can do more damage getting a few seconds to aim for any open components. many clans' seem to have arm weaponry so the more I can take out the l/r torso and arm the more I can half its damage.

Depends on the chassis.
