Extremely good points in the article. The front end "developer" community is awash with web designers who know enough jQuery (not Javascript, jQuery) to sprinkle some woo-woo on "websites", but who have no software engineering skills to create genuine rich, immersive applications. And they're resentful because rich, immersive applications that require some engineering power, and some necessarily complex APIs are the way things are going. And these people are noisy and influential. But I think that's changing. We are going to have properly engineered, web mediated rich UIs. Not a mess of cobbled together freeware.
