Well, actually he never mentioned that he's not interested in powergaming. He just said that he was searching for a different "gaming and role-playing experience"
A powergaming char certainly is a new gaming experience, and also affects role-playing in my opinion. When I'm playing a thief or a bard for example, I tend to be the coward-type, especially on the lower levels. But as a Fighter/Mage(multiclass) I'm usually very confident in my abilities, calm, and not really afraid of any situation.
Dual-Classing offers even more role-playing in my opinion. I mean, why does your Kensai suddenly decide to study the arts of magic? Playing a powergaming char does not necessarily lack role-playing.
So long,
