I actually like uneven cooking surfaces and use this to create effects in my stovetop cooking. If I want evenness, it's easy just stir or swirl - but getting unevenness is more work. A wok is a perfect example of using unevenness and motion to control your cooking, and for frying I mostly use a cast iron pan and for serious heat, a wok with a ring adapter and high BTU stove.

Nobody (at least, of normal human build) picks up a cast iron skillet and tumbles food. Woks are great, but you wouldn't pan-fry a steak in a wok.
