 There is no thing like concrete analysis in a vacuum. Human players start
analysing from an evaluation, and only analyse until they get a definite
indication about plans and moves. In the given position there are no tactical
problems to be solved my means of "I play this-he plays that" brute
calculations. I have given reasons to think that Black is a little better, and
also a -sketchy- plan: Be7, 0-0, Nc6, then maybe Re8-Bd6, etc.

 Also your observation about "personal feelings" are not adequate. My remark
about White knights is objective: imagine both knights in their natural
positions, f3 and c3: KN at f3 controls e5 so making harder for Black to prepare
e6-e5; QN at c3 controls d5 so making even harder for black to go for e6-e5
because the e6 pawn has the duty to defend its d5 brother.
