This is how I played it in a game i played yesterday

For white it looks like vienna game where white has actively developed the bishop before moveing the f pawn. It can't be bad.

It's worse than a Vienna game because Black has total control of the d4 square.  And that's usually the problem with your usual Vienna.

 Justify please. Sure, these moves don't follow fashion but that doesn't make them worse like you've asserted.

looks like a transposition into a vienna gambit-ish game.

Ouachita- I don't think that 2. Bc4 is worse than 2. Nf3. I'd value them as equal. What is your evidence of such a claim?

Well, that seems slightly unfair- you completely outrate me, so I'm bound to lose no matter what my first moves are! But, I will take up your challenge.

O I see, if you have a bad history with an opening and you have good history with another, one is better than the other?!? Completely inaccurate and absurd way to justify your claim

 I personally cant quite agree with that part. The line you mentioned scores equally for both sides at grandmaster game database, which should say that Black probably has an advantage, but not a win.

Unless he (as an under 1400 player) plans to use it against top level players who can convert any advantage to a win, I dont think using that opening prevents him from winning any game (if he himself feels comfortable with it).
