I like his overall message, but I wonder about the details. E.g. he attacks the existence of HTML and CSS, but there needs to be some universal format to store the markup and design in. So I guess he's attacking the idea of hand-coding them instead of using a WYSIWYG editor. But you can use something like Dreamweaver, Expression Web, or even more recent web apps like Divshot. I guess the problem in that they're not good enough yet, but that's not because people aren't trying to do it, it's because it is hard to do.
