The first issue I have with it is that they've now convinced a large portion of people that read this article that a very good tool is not as good as it actually is. This is a disservice to the great engineering that has gone into it.

The rest of my issue with it is hypothetical. I don't care what he does at work, but I would imagine if I was that dude's manager and he convinced me that he put in all this work and determined that the best path forward is to introduce a brand new language and tool chain into our environment to maintain (obviously not as big a deal if it was already well engrained in the team), and then I come to find out that he could have gotten even better results by changing a few lines with the existing tools, that I would have to reevaluate my view of said developer.
