I would never ever ever be belayed leading by that person who doesn't know how to control the brake line.

Agreed that learning to belay on a GriGri is bad. Teach on ATCs and I would suggest that Gyms should check lead climbers/belayers on ATC usage for a 'pass/fail' then allow them to actually belay with whatever they want.
