Interestingly, I have a GS3 as well and have no problems with the things the developer is mentioning here.
The article is 3 months old. In that time, CM10 hit stable release for all US carriers (and international, IIRC) and is honestly rock-solid. All those "unsolvable" issues were solved. I'd recommend it without hesitation to every GS3 owner.
10.1 is buggy/crash-prone, admittedly, but the team's only been working on it for a few weeks. Bluetooth and Wifi tethering work solidly, some of the newer Google Apps (like Gallery and Photosphere) are a little hacky. Touch to focus works great.
Every issue Codeworkx cites as his frustrations with the S3 have been resolved by the great folks at the CM/TeamHacksung. The article is a non-issue.
I'm willing to bet that you have a US market "GS3". That's a Qualcom Snapdragon S4 phone, not Exynos (seriously: it's an entirely different set of electronics in the same box). It works much better largely because it shares the same SoC as the Nexus 4.
And yet, in comparison with it's cousin the N4, it's not nearly as well supported or trouble free. Buy. A. Nexus. Phone.
Nexus 4 has one major flaw -- you can't tell people to buy a phone that is not on the market. :) I can wait until my n900 breaks down (which won't happen any time soon, that thing is built like a rock), but N4 would be so much better if it was, you know, there.
