The real problem is developers not understanding Object Oriented programming. Many developers write procedural style in Java or any other OO language. So you get God classes, methods that are hundreds or thousands of lines long etc - I'm sure we've all seen those horror shows. It's just a lack of education coupled with a culture where there is no strive for technical excellence.
You need high quality developers in Java, just as you do in any other language.
It seems like the article's beef is with OO programming, not Java per se.
