Exactly. Plenty of high-profile blogs that are powered by wordpress also use disqus. Using disqus != using a site generator (jekyll), and using jekyll != using disqus.

The same could be said for those of us who use posterous to power our blogs. I think what the author of the article really wanted is to suggest a free/open commenting platform similar to disqus. I wonder how long until we see a "Comment.js" type post now? Could be cool.
