Grey Knights can be cheesyawesomesuper when looking at some units in isolation and in their favoured scenario (Purifiers using cleansing flame against a bunch of basic ork boyz and knowing that after cleansing flame, 10 halberds are going to swing down). But you can probably say the same for any codex.

Grey Knights weaknesses: Low model count. Lack of decent invul saves against ranged attacks. No storm shields on Terminators/Paladins. Generally short ranged - 24". Lack of ranged weaponry that has higher strength than 8. Lack of AP1/AP2 weaponry.

Now, there is the Henchmen side of the Codex that addresses some of these issues but then you're talking about far squishier troops as well. Overall, calling Grey Knights as a whole cheesy is a daft argument. The odd unit here and there is cheesy but the grey knights codex isn't the only one guilty of having those, and that's a fact.
