I'm a touch strapped for cash so I can't afford to get a 25mm prime for my MFT. But I have a 20mm "pancake" prime that works in really tight situations where I don't really need people to realise there's a camera pointed at them. I have an older Canon AE-1 that I picked up a 50mm however and it's my favourite "go outside and shoot" lenses. Beyond the benefits that the article is citing, it's missing one of the greatest advantages of these lower focal length lenses is being able to have the lens not extend too far from your body. It's a bit dramatic - but you're kind of part of the action instead of a million miles away.
