I agree with this to an extent, but I also think there's always room to cut features. When I launched my MVP (after the usual no-product-yet-but-sign-up-for-this-mailing-list stage), the feature set was pretty barebones, there was no admin dashboard (it's an API product) and because it was so limited I quickly discovered pain-points that were causing users to drop off, namely not having an admin dashboard. I would of never known that if I just plowed ahead and built everything.

So sure, you can't really get away with an ugly "MVP" that's missing your core feature-set (and I'd argue you couldn't really get away with that in the first place) but you can cut features until you have something barebones that you can start getting in front of users.
