Daniel, what he's criticizing is not Agile as a movement, rather a group of people who bastardized Agile, giving lip service to its values. For example the people who made lucrative business with Scrum certifications leaving professionalism behind.

Yes, but he is also saying that we don't need two movements. Software Craftsmanship is there in the Manifesto. But the industry around Agile is oblivious to it. This is his voice.

My opinion is that even though he is right, the second movement is great to make people reflect and realize that we Craftsmanship is an integral part of Agile.

I am not saying that his critique is bad: we are only here because of lack of critiques, and a thoughtful application of Agile[1]
