Easily the most approachable yet complete writeup I've seen on the topic. I've always noticed an aura of esoteric dark magic around writing good algorithmic reverbs, this makes it seems less daunting. Since the author does a quick comparison between convolution and algorithmic reverbs, I'll mention how I often combine them: a small/medium convolution reverb, plus a long algorithmic reverb. The convolution can perfectly diffuse the signal and it can also give a precise character to the sound, depending on the impulse response. It's great for adding a "body" to a raw sound generator. The algorithmic layer then adds a subtle ambience that can be extra long if desired.
