I bought this lens when I started shooting more architectural and interior projects and the 24LII just wasn't wide enough. Odds are, if you're on a tripod and mixing light sources the 16-35/4LIS is a great alternative to the 16-35/2.8L or T/S lenses. I find that CaptureOne allows me to adjust lines and other corrections. Overall, I'm very happy with the lens.

I'm with the others, that's a very low score for such a superb lens. The 16-35/2.8L III is bigger, heavier, much more expensive and has no IS. On a tripod the extra stop is largely irrelevant and off the tripod IS is more effective than one stop of aperture for most situations. So at best it would be a 2.5?
