Good point. Funny you mention that article: I remember encountering both that article and another one that provides some counterpoints! [1]
Also, both those articles are a bit old: RDF* ([2],[3]) is a new extension for RDF that makes it easier to accomplish the same kind of things you can do with property graphs. RDF4j has support for RDF* in the roadmap! [4].
To me, the fact that RDF is 1) a simpler and more general model and 2) an open standard with multiple free and commercial implementations; makes RDF a more a attractive option than locking into a single proprietary implementation like Neo4j.
