Dave's group of guys run GBBRs exclusively and are quite good at it. GBBR as a platform has a lot of shortcomings, but they have ways to deal with them.

I will also say that AEG's definitely have a much more stable FPS from one shot to the next, but that is the nature of running gas propellants.
I would be a bit more careful with wording here though. GBBR can consistently shoot a BB out to a good range, but that is different from saying "consistent range". Consistent range would mean the BB has the same trajectory each time, but with unstable FPS output, that's not physically possible compared to something more consistent like an AEG. The FPS fluctuations are mostly a factor of temperature variation, inconsistent BB placement, and by the nature of GBB design.
