His thoughts are very true and the technique is very effective however I won't use it as the only way to cross strings since I think that it has a particular sound. You won't sound like shredders like Gilbert, Malmsteen or Vinnie Moore if you only use this technique.

Chromatic note on the E sixth string is played only for picking order, in my opinion. Why he chose that one - he only knows . But because it Gambale sounds perfectly unique

I had classes with Frank at LA music academy and he was always amazing. The economy picking was one of his lessons. It works great once you get used to it.

Gambale mostly made his name by developing arpeggio sweeping and economy picking to new levels. He also collaborated with famous jazz names, and made his name as world famous rock/jazz guitar player. This type of technique needs years of practice, but as Alex said: it's not so hard once you get used to it, and yes the tone is quite different then shredding.

Frank's approach sounds more like playing keyboards for my ears
 that's what it sounds like I mean. I prefer AP because, as also Gabe said, the sound texture is very different.

I love the sound of economy picking when it's done well and Frank makes it sound amazing
I also love the sound you get with AP too.
