All I'll say is that the class isn't for everyone. I won't say that they're exceptionally difficult to play decently but you certainly need to pay attention and react rather swiftly to avoid being killed. That's something that makes the class very enjoyable in my eyes, but for other players I suspect that it makes for quite a bit of frustration!
There's exceptions but generally in every MMO it's easier to play a ranged combatant as you tend to be more room for error and typically have less mechanics to worry about when fighting a boss. Positioning doesn't tend to be a huge factor either.
I guess I'm just repeating what has already been brought up already, though as someone who adores how the class plays I figured I'd add my two gil to the discussion!
