Well, looks like I"m a carbineer now wether I planned on being one or not...
You ain't the only old timer bro.... My Commando/Smuggler just became a MBH/MSL/MM on accident the same way. Mad at first... then the relief of deleting my proton rile to get the adk back to throw on a 376 base Intimidator Pistol that does a 5 on the damage scale
Oh and earned 876k off bounties in a very quick fashion.
.Yes
Commando is the best, hands down, profession for grinding force xp. (Combat xp from nades) and this double xp week has been a blessing, got about 430k combat xp in 1 sith raid (had to convert in middle of raid) problem is the aggro, but with a couple jedi and a doctor its a sinch.
I am keeping Commando for the long haul. I have been a Commando since October 2004 and not planning on dropping it for a long time. I love the feeling of pulling out the flamethrower and igniting any creature that gets in my way. Your quote is classic, Vito.
I do, however, have to use my pistols when I am in a group. Otherwise, I will aggro about half a dozen (or more) creatures. Usually pikets and they aren't fun to deal with when aggroed. If I have to, I'll use my launcher pistol if I am in a group. I'm usually good in a support role anyways.
Just my two cents.

I know exactly what you mean, hehe. At first it's like, "Oh crap, I'm not a commando any more!" Now given that my final template right now is 4444 marksman, MBH, MCarbines, Pistoleer 0001 I'm realizing just how poweful other classes are and just how gimped commando is.
With carbines I can fulfill pretty much any AE role commandos could (aside from AE states) - selectively I might add -I have an easy to obtain (already got it) quest carbine that ends up with 500+ modified DPS, I can wear my shnazzyKatarn armor now, clear states, and I can take bounties to boot... though I'll admit it, I really don't have the heart to go around stalking jedi. I tried it once, and realized just what a failure of a BH I am as far as PCmark-bagging is concerned. 
That, and the fact that a CL80 jedi completely stomped me when I tried this at CL 64.
Of course, now that's not really an issue since melee can't evenget in range of me now. KD + Cripple Shot + Stopping Shot + Suppression Fire = No enemy movement toward you 100% of the time).
If anything though, this has helped me appreciate just what utter crap commando has had to put up with and what they still have to put up with. 
At least I can bide my time till a fix with a working combo now...
Wait a second, did you say 378 BASE DPS?

I would drop the rifle line in marksman and go further up the stances and grips line in pistols...you could get all the way up to Improved Stopping shot...even longer root.
Will I keep Master Commando?
yes
Will I keep playing that character until there is a significant fix?
No
