Which one is it now?
If you dont care about which job does more DPS, why get so worked up about it?
Balancing classes is important to ensure that every job has their place in a raidgroup or even in a normal dungeon - so they do need to make little changes and monitir carefully which jobs are clearing which content.
They also have to be balanced for Savage Raids - SMN brings raid utility to the table (raises, buffs), SAM doesnt so they need to deal more damage to make up for that, simple as that.

Edit: I checked the patchnotes again for SMN-changes, expecting to find something that fundamentally changes their gameplay... and all thats gonna happen are literally small potency nerfs on a couple of skills. The way you play the class will most likely stay the same, just with slightly smaller numbers to ensure for a better balance among classes. So if you like summoner for their gameplay, that stays the same... if you're not running a parser you most likely wont even notice those changes.
I'm saying that as a main paladin btw - I couldnt care less about the nerf my favorite job is getting because it will still be the same gameplay there.
