I completely agree with the author, and have seen more and more anti-TDD sentiment in recent years. Certainly nowhere near all, but some TDD adherents seem to have a bit of a cargo cult mentality regarding it.

At the end of the day, I think whatever you're personally most productive with is what you should use. If it's TDD, use it. If it isn't, don't. Kind of like the saying "the best diet is the one you stick to". Maybe you could be more productive switching to it, or away from it, so it's worth evaluating alternatives carefully, but in general I think whatever works for you is fine to use.
