One thing in that article stands out: "OO is the “structured programming” snake oil of the 90' Useful at times, but hardly the “end all” programing paradigm some like to make out of it." In 2014, I think it's important to remember that "structured programming" was, basically, "hey let's use FOR and WHILE loops, and subroutines, instead of a big pile of GOTOs", and think about what that says about any author who describes it as "useful at times" and "snake oil."
