I agree with the general idea behind this article, which is : don't become religious about one method, one tool, one language... However, the conclusion is really pessimistic ! "Great developers create great software not because they follow the strictures of some methodology but because they are truly great, gifted artisans." So...non-gifted artisans will never produce great software ? We shouldn't try to increase the average quality of software by figuring out methods that work for the rest of us that are not "gifted" ?

So a buddhist monk walks up to a hotdog vendor and is asked what he wants to eat: "Make me one with everything!" the Monk chuckles with a cheeky smile. So the buddhist gets his hot dog and pays the hot dog vendor with a $20 bill. The vendor takes the money and expecting change the buddhist asks what is going on? The smile is returned by the hotdog vendor; "Change must come from within".
