Theif's movement and knowing what to do with the fan at certain time is great as he's played with it for a long ass time, however his aim is nowhere near as good as IM scouts even less invite scouts like S. He's pretty knowledgable on what to do at certain times with it but most of the time you can just meatshot him while he's doing his little gimmicks in the air. A large part of theif's game is jumping over peoples heads with the fan scout against soldiers in tf2lobby and players who aren't very talented, although he might be able to pull it off a couple times usually you can just shoot him once and shotgun him.
No disrespect to theif, he will admit himself will admit his aim isn't that great.

Yes the scattergun is better 98% of the time. I detest Thief but he's the one I've seen utilize it the best. I remember S did good work with it on gpit. Sure Thief mostly picks on crappy lobby players but I've had the displeasure to play against it a bunch in the past and the movement is maddeningly random, and fully 3d. I've played a bunch against mackey this season and, no offense, he does nothing remotely special with it.

WithADanceNumberTo answer the OP, the FaN is a great pub weapon and also pretty good for highlander as the extra movement greatly increases your survivability.
Why use FaN when you can just use atomizer lol.
But yeah, I definitely agree, FaN is no match for a good scout with the scattergun.
