Is this type of thinking still prominent in Paizo?

so apparently, Jason Bulhman thinks that Martial characters need to adhere to real-life, while wizards can do whatever the heck they want because "magic." It is stuff like this that makes me see why people think Martials are no fun in Pathfinder

Absolutely... it's written in the corebook that all must bow down and scrape before the True Wielders of the Arcane!. In the next revision of the core book to represent the true power of wizards, the Wish spell will be changed to First Level, but will be banned for anyone who has much as a single bard, oracle, or sorcerer, or magus level. Because we like to see those spontaneous spellcasters and half-martial casters cry.

That image offends my brain

"I, office worker, fumbled with a cord, thus professional gunslingers that twirl guns all day cannot do it"

In Bulhman's defense, I'm pretty sure that was just a joke. And gunslingers aren't fully realistic just yet.

They'd be able to shoot revolvers EVEN FASTER if they were as fast as people in real life, for one, ha ha! (You think I'm kidding, don't you?)

All joking aside, though, I will agree that Paizo has been very slow to embrace the notion of an (Ex) ability that does anything as flashy and cool as a (Su) or (Sp) ability does. I wouldn't hold out hope on that being addressed anytime soon, though; Occult Adventures was all about magic, and Ultimate Intrigue is probably going to be more on the magical side of things as well, although I imagine giving a little more to do with skills will at least help nonmagical skillful classes like the slayer and unchained rogue out.

LazarX is exaggerating [intentional hyperbole to make a mockery out of the claim, if I'm guessing correctly] but his basic premise isn't really wrong either.

It's worse than that... they're firing FLINTLOCKS! at speeds that revolvers would envy.

Locking. Don't bring this kind of content from other communities (including venues like Facebook) to paizo.com. It just stirs up drama that nobody really needs.
