The author mentions Dojo at the end of the article in passing, which is a great all inclusive framework for large client side apps. But yest I think the author is missing a few things. The first and most glaring is complaining about jQuery lacking OO, jQuery's philosophy is intentionally functional. It sometimes makes it difficult to extend or add onto jQuery but that is not jQuery's bag, they are more of an API that you use in your own app, they are not really a architectural pattern that you follow to build an app. If you are adding onto the jQuery object to build your app, you are probably doing it wrong. For a toolkit that gives a developer an architectural framework, they should look at Dojo or roll their own buy utilizing Backbone, Require, various other libs and jQuery.
