Dear Ross,
I find this article not only superficial but misleading. Its presentation of category theory is not only simplified but distorting. I think that it may do more harm than good It is important to know how we are seen in some sources, but we need not pay attention to them. Even if (or particularly because) an article like this one is seemingly laudatory.
Best regards,
Marta
