FFX is definately the easiest out of all the FFs I've played, but I still thought it was a great game. I agree that changing your characters during battle made things wicked simple, because you no longer screwed yourself over if your enemy was weak against magic and you had no mages in your party. No problem! Just trade in Lulu for Tidus! However, I thought it was a neat concept - just as I liked that summons no longer came and went, but stayed and battled. Sure, this made things easier still, but the idea was cool, so it was at least worth a shot.
