After being sent flying by other attacks(like hammer pound/GL Shell) it really depends on what you do right after. Sometimes it's better to lay there and use the invincibility frames while getting back up to your advantage. Most people who cart after being knocked back/down by those attacks either put themselves in that situation or the person with the weapon has no respect for the other players/thinks their attack when deal more than the people who get knocked back/down.

LS, SA, LBG, HBG, DB, Bow and IG can all trip/stagger other players, since being tripped/staggered lacks the invincibility frames, it is arguably worse. Regardless if you pay attention to those around you or talk to them about it, you can usually sort things out. Personally, I try to always attack a spot others aren't attacking, but if other people get in the way(run in front of me while I'm charging WF, or CB's Super Burst, it does get annoying. However the worse thing anyone can do is spam Flashbombs, as the brief white scree can lead to carts, or bad situations.

In regards to how I feel about LS: They're alright. I use a few, although it just feels really limited in attacks, but they can be fun for a nice change of pace from the other weapons I use.
