I mean, isn't this really just dependent on what kind of game you're making?
Well, it wouldn't make any sense in Candy Crush, but otherwise... I can't think of a genre with jumping that couldn't benefit from some kind of double jumping
My version of this is the dodge roll, I just think they look so dumb. Especially with characters wearing heavy armor or backpacks, or when you have to chain multiple rolls back to back. I just can't help but think of that video of Solaire cosplayer rolling around people at comicon
I much prefer the look of the sidestep from Bloodborne

Here's the counter article, both are pretty fun reads
In real life, when something’s out of reach, you might say, “Oh, I wish I could fly, or were dating someone tall, or had purchased a bigger ladder”-- you don’t say, “I wish I could hop, and then hop again the same distance,” unless you are cursed with a modest imagination or low self-esteem. Want more for yourself than being able to jump twice. You deserve it.
Flawless logic, I’m sold on team anti-double jump.

It's a bit different since Rock Paper Shotgun is comparing it versus asking if it's good or not. But still great talking points in the comments.
Good article that is well-written, interesting and uncensored. 👏
