RC4 is extremely weak for some applications. A block cipher is greatly preferable.
I'm afraid that I can't agree with this howling logical error. RC4 is showing its age, but there are other stream ciphers that are acceptable, and there are block ciphers (such as FEAL, same vintage as RC4) that aren't even vaguely secure.
