In 2000 when the article was written there was no such thing as swfaddress, or swfobject. Point being, everything this article criticized ended up being addressed either by Adobe or developers creating solutions for those issues.
The uprising that we're seeing the last few days is very similar to the uprising we saw when this article was put out. Just as people fall down and worship Steve Jobs today people fell down and worshipped Jakob Nielssen in 2000. If he said, it was gospel. It caused a lot of ruckus and for YEARS was the sole piece that many people would use when deriding Flash. But we made it through that by proving that Flash was up to the task, and moreso that we as developers were up to the task.
