This (the keeping clean portion) is my experience, as well. Esp. with cast iron. Not a fan of grill pans for meat, because of the reduced browning surface, as pointed out earlier.
As others have pointed out, it's the charcoal,etc. not the cooking implement, that makes the food taste smokey. No smoke, no smoke flavor, unless you add one chemically.
