I can tell by looking at its going to get smashed up and bent.

Some people might be jumping the gun on this framing. It really comes down to how you design your chassis. When you start making strong structural shapes with adequate support, (Just like you'd do with 80/20, box aluminum, pick your flavor) you'll see this holds up.
I don't have a piece of it in front of me, but it appears to be roughly an inch in size and U shaped. This means that you're having excellent structural design in terms of increasing your moment of inertia. When you look at how little material is at the edges of slotted extrusion, I think you'll find that this stuff will have a comparable (dare I even say better?) moment of inertia than your extrusion, and since they're both made out of aluminum, I'd say this will be just as strong, if not stronger than you 1010 80/20.
That's my 32 cents.
