You're either awfully misinformed or averse to Googling or insistent in anecdotal bias.

FFLogs, currently the most objective way to measure DPS performance, ranks SMN as #2 or #3 DPS on savage raids, averaged out. Nevertheless, there are issues with this ranking as the sample size of SMN is small, but this is still the best statistical data we have at the moment, unless someone else can present alternative data. Meanwhile, RDM is consistently last or second last amongst DPS.

People, stop bashing SMN for its damage. SMN damage is great. SMN user-friendliness is not - according to popular opinion including my own. Complaining about SMN user-friendliness encourages devs to make changes hopefully for the better. Complaining about SMN damage encourages Party Finders to exclude SMN from groups.
