Agree, in programing you can always find a contrargument to any "never ever use X". I noticed that people often treat such phrases godmatically and then use it in another context, where it might not be true.

I like more phrasing it like this "in 90 % of the cases it is better to use X over Y", to leave the room for other options. But it is not a catchy phrase if you want to write a blog post.

Nevertheless I really like the points the author gave, something I didn't thought about before.
