A summary of healer issues

[Sebazy]

If healer design is so awful why is WHM consistenly the most popular job? This forum is an echo chamber while everyone else is just playing the game. And holy magic is so much prettier than dirty geomancer magic. We are white mage not green and brown mage

I'd argue it's popular for a couple of reasons:

It's the only healer route that's open from your first login without jumping through a few hoops first.

It's arguably one of the most iconic FF jobs ever.

It has the least emphasis on cooldowns relative to AST and SCH, therefore it's easier to play at a very basic level vs the others currently.

Lastly and perhaps most importantly, all 3 healer jobs are as badly designed as each other

Writing all of this off because you think it's an echo chamber is a truly shitty outlook though. Should I start writing everything you say off as some mindless white knight? No, because that's shallow, petty and doesn't achieve a thing.
