To further support this statement with my own personal experience;
I used a smith machine for squats/bench for the first 3 months of my lifting experience. I switched to the oval afterwards, and pretty much had to spend the next 3 months re-learning everything because the barbell was so different. I've never looked back because i've made progress leaps and bounds with a barbell over a smith machine or free weights.
I know for most people, that lifting/training is based off of each individual's own tweaks and experiences in the gym (form, routine), but some things need to be done right the first time, or else you're just wasting a lot of time.
