I'll have to disagree there. Arguably SMN is the least desirable caster out of the three now with RDM's MP issues alleviated (yay more raises I guess) and its party buff still better than SMN's, while BLM completely overshadows both of them.

Yes, all jobs are still viable even with the issues so whatever, things like that, but we can't ignore those issues either. SMN does have big problems already talked about to death on both the english and japanese forums which should convince you that it's actually in a bad place.
