True some fats are really bad for you, but in general there is very little wrong with fat.
On the other side of the scale, it's really easy to eat more carbs then you need, and a lot of carbs have high GI so that doesn't help either.
I think you should use fat as your main source of energy, and use carbs for high energy activities like sports, manual labor, learning, etc.
Ofc any diet that recommends extremes is probably not to good in the long run.
