I think palm size and width are big factors here. My fingers are downsized, but my palm is fairly wide so that may be why I adapted well.

I think I'm agreeing with Boris.
I had a Nocaster-style neck and I hated it, but I replaced it with a big V-shaped neck (and Elliot Mechanic with a full 1-inch at the nut) and because it didn't have those huge shoulders, it feels GREAT in the hands.
The following picture may help:
Whenever I play a Nocaster I know I could never live with the shape of the neck but I've discovered a BIG neck is comfortable to play once you've found your preferred profile.
I suspect you just don't like the U-shape.
Hope this helps.
