Interesting article! Gutenberg itself is also on a different road than before as you can't run it self hosted. To use it on a self hosted blog you would need to install jetpack and use WordPress.com as the main UI, which isn't self hosted. His point regarding commercial plugins are also to the point. There are great plugins out there, but setting up a site with these can easily cost over $1000 in yearly subscription fees and the free versions are often too basic or require tweaking to add required features. Still think WordPress make sense for organizations that can easily pay for premium plugins and support, or hackers that know how to code and find the great free plugins.
