Personally, Blue Mage is my favorite caster class in the series. FF5, FF7's Enemy Skill, Quina, and the Vampire job in Bravely Default were all good.
Uh.. I wasn't attacking anyone. I was asking a question. And sorry but general consensus is that the most efficient way to play FFVIII is either Aura everyone or have everyone had low HP because casting magic is a waste and LBs blow any other form of damage out of the water.

And I wasn't arguing viability. I was just saying that generally Blue Mages take a lot of effort for essentially what you can get in other jobs.
