My physics teacher likes to say that physics like to make problems they face look like ones that they know how to solve. A simple harmonic oscillation was one he frequently used in class, as is presumably the case in physics in general.

I'm not sure I understood the point the writer of this article was trying to make. Perhaps his English wasn't quite up to snuff to get the point across properly.
I guess the point I have is that I don't believe any programming style/environment/methodology/etc. has "failed" because if some people can use it to get work done properly, then it works. Some people like good ol' procedural C. If they can write a good app in that language, more power to them. Some people swear by Objective-C and Cocoa programming on OS X. If they can write a good app in that environment, more power to them. Some people are so-called "script kiddies" hacking away at PHP. If they can write the Internet's next killer app from their upstairs bedroom, more power to them.
I say find the tools that suit you, learn how to use them effectively, and go for it. Who are we to sneer at anybody?
