I liked his examples, though I disagree with his conclusion (don't use jQuery). It seems like the real conclusions are:
1. understand the language you're using (this would solve the `bind` examples); and
2. learn how to use your libraries properly.
Otherwise, the "don't use $TOOL, because misuse can cause $BAD_THINGS" line of thinking is nearly limitless in its application (jQuery, cars, circular saws, ...).
