It seems to me that the APIs he mentions - multimedia stuff - is an area in
which Java has always done poorly. There are lots of other APIs (SQL, I/O,
concurrency, not to mention Java EE) that continue to evolve rather than be
replaced.

I found that the third sentence (the first substantive one, I think. I
don't understand the very first sentence.) sets the tone for the article's
WTF-ness: "In 15 years, my Java project has grown from 667 lines of
code (LOC) to 633,436 LOC." Does this imply that he's worked on one (and
only one) Java project for 15 years?
