Why you should never, EVER write an article that advises other people to never, EVER do something: a) You have red gnomes jumping in front of you b) You have no idea why, in my case, using linked lists actually makes a lot of sense c) if linked lists were to be "considered evil", someone else would have found out in the last 20 years. The bottom line is: know what you're doing. The article has a point (locality of reference) and therefore it's worthwhile. The advise to simply not use linked lists, doesn't help.
