The difference now is that everything in the game has gotten much stronger. It's not just the SAW being the "I win" gun and the only choice.
A pre nerf white SAW modded out could have challenged some OJ ARs in the game now (VBIs and FRC ACs even), even with all the damage boosts with rarity, and with more bonus rolls now. Now imagine if the SAW was still on the base 400 damage it used to be. You could get one with 600 DMG per shot now if it wasn't nerfed. We'd still have everyone and their brother using a SAW.
I was one of the people who thought the SAW DMG nerf was needed. It was a little too strong back then. Though I thought they overdid it at first. It's much more balanced now then it used to be.
