Since I switched to 28 mm tires from 25 mm and adjusted the psi to 85 front and 95 rear, I do not find the ride harsh but firm. I got 8,000 miles out of one set and still had miles to use on the front without one flat. Hard to beat that.
If you value puncture resistance more than ride quality or speed, then yes, these may very well work for you - no one is disputing this. The other guy just made some weird claims about the performance of Gatorskins (and in the context of these tires, the word "performance" is used in the loosest of senses) and that's what got called out.
