In my experience with John, he's never denigrated any approach. In fact, he encouraged me to use a state-machine approach rather than using a workflow engine for my use case. While obviously opinionated - he is leading a workflow engine project - he's been pretty objective/fair when it comes to pros and cons of various approaches.
