Logistic regression isn't sexy, but it can still achieve near state-of-the-art results, is reasonably resistant to bias^H^H^H^H variance, and generates parameters that you can easily explain to someone with no background in math.

As far as I can tell, the GP raised no objection to logistic regression, they simply noted that the illustration didn't actually illustrate logistic regression but something else.
