Anyway if someone doesn't remember about 5DS this would be the perfect excuse to replay such great game. I myself might be doing just that when I get to this.

Or maybe it's just that I grew up around classic Sierra adventures old enough to have parsers. Space Quests, Police Quests, Leisure Suit Larry.. Well, at least LSL2.. Man, those were good games.

In the flashback where you have to slide the painting under the door it clearly says that there is a wide gap underneath the door. Thus I tried a variety of words and combinations in order to push the painting though the gap, until it dawned on me to simply push the painting under the door.

It is just that the parsers doesn't add anything in this case.
Whereas the parser could make it easier to do things that would otherwise be difficult to implement using simply 4 pictographic commands (such as, for example, "remove the shoelaces from the shoe and tie them into a knot")
However, in this case I have not yet encountered any problem that could not simply have been approached by using a point-and-click/4 commands interface.
At first I thought perhaps it would add something extra to the narrative as you would be able to examine things in a way that wasn't possible before. However, this is not the case. When issuing a command that does not fit the immediate context (search corpse, move corpse, taste mystery meat) it just gives you either the standard reply or a variation of "I don't understand that", which is a shame as a parser would allow - and indeed encourages - such variation.
I am reminded of what Al Lowe said about Leisure Suit Larry :
