After 12 years of mostly standing for work (software development), the part of this article I sadly can agree with is the wrist/carpal tunnel issue.
I'm probably on the extreme end of "standers", as I routinely stand for 12+ hours at my computer. If my partner is not around, I'll not only stand for the full work day but also the entire evening. There may be days where the only time I sit is in the bathroom...
Only recently, as I allowed a bad diet and lack of exercise to become a problem, have I found myself less able to stand as much.
But the real issue is the forearms, wrists, and hands. I believe it should be possible to arrange my desktop in a way that gives me the same ergonomics as sitting (with respect to arms), but so far I haven't got it quite right.
Probably the right answer is just to cut my time at the computer in half and spend the other half of my time out being active :).
