Gear Score is an excellent addon. It allows you to assess how good someone's gear is at a glance.
Gear Score is not a measure of how good a player is. It is a measure of how high the ilevels of a player's gear are. Gear does not equal skill, but skill without gear means very little too.
Generally to see if a person has the minimum skill to complete an encounter they ask for the achievement as well.
Gear Score is only good for at-a-glance appraisals. It can be abused. I've seen people just put on the highest ilevel gear they have on that's not appropriate for their role (tanking gear on a dps, etc.) to inflate their gear score.
