I haven't seen very much talk about pulse rifles on youtube, or forums, other than them just being disregarding as joke weapons.
While I may not be a die hard pulse rifle user I decided to see for myself what about this sub class of primary weapons was rubbing people the wrong way.
I hope maybe what I discovered testing many different pulse rifles in pvp may actually be helpful in forming an idea on what should be done to make pulse rifles fun and rewarding to use.

I have not watched the video you libked but I agree there is still some tweeking to be done for the Pulse Rifles in this game. Just some background I use guns on my toons according to how Destiny was originally designed because it just fits me (Hunters with HC/Snipers, Warlock with ScoutRifle/FusionRifles, and Titans with Auto,Pulse/Shotguns). There is still [b]a lot[/b] lacking from Pulse Rifles though idk if its perks or something else. Scout Rifles got fixed so they are more common but Pulse Rifles are still underwhelming
