Except maybe if you plan on adding type-specific properties (not something that appears in his model, mind you), like extracts or stripped (text only) versions for the text nodes, thumbnails for the image and video nodes and type-specific meta info. I'm not saying that is the way to go, but it might be a reason to choose type-specific nodes, so that you know what kind of extra data to expect. Of course you could do the same by adding special mixins for each node depending on the mime-type. The only time when you really might need special nodes for each content category is when you want to make sure that the content is of a specific type. Dunno, let's say you want to store company letter templates for a text processor and each has to have a text node and an image with the company logo. That's a requirement that's easy to express in the model if you have those content categories defined. If you never going to have those kind of requirements then David's suggestion is much more flexible.
