I'm in no way qualified to give any technical judgement on Verlinde's paper, but I'm aware that modified theories of gravity have been around for a long time without much success. Of course I'd like it if some elegant theory could be found that fit the evidence better than dark matter, but going by past attempts I'm not anticipating this one will.
