True, sorta, but it depends on who the wielder is.
Adam adapted nigh-instantly, and Magus adjusted virtually instantly. Oh yeah, the acclimation period for the IG definitely varies from user to user -- not saying otherwise... Nor am I saying it takes some ridiculous amount of time for the Gauntlet to be mastered. Just saying that there is always *some* sort of acclimation period -- even for the most adept of wielders.

Warlock: "The Magus is adapting to Godhood much quicker than either Thanos or I did!":

Thanos: "With every passing second, the Magus becomes more adept at wielding the awesome power he now possesses.":

That makes no difference between the items imo. Aside from the external control thing, the only real difference between these items is that there is no acclimation period for a Worlogog-user at all. Thanks to its automatic-upgrade feature, the user gains full comprehension of the 'gog, instantly -- this enables them to use the 'gog to its best right off the bat. I'm not saying that feature makes the 'gog more powerful than the IG or whathaveyou(again, I view them as equals)... It's just more user-friendly, is all.

Perhaps you're right. But ... unless you're clairvoyant, that's still just an opinion.
If we go by feats, Hourman /w/ the Worlogog would unarguably stomp the hierarchy. As I mentioned above: I consider the 'gog to be DC's version of the IG. They're very similar in terms of what they can do.
