Some truth in that, but not if it means you can't finish the game in the first place, or you have to skirt around the design through lack of skill.
Truth is that the vast majority of people developing indie games have little chance of success no matter what they use. Finishing and shipping a product is not something that can easily be done without a lot of dedication and a supreme effort. Thats why wherever you look, you don't see many games being finished. Blitz actually does better than most but developers don't have much support on the marketing front. And Marketing is what essentialy gets your game out there, on peoples computers and sold. Marketing is probably the second most important thing to success after having an actual product.
Notice how most successful indie games tend to be developed and finished by industry veterans? Most success comes through hard work, practice and experience and accumulated knowledge of how things work. It's as simple as that.
