Maybe my reading comprehension failed me, but my takeaway was that the article was very much not in support of it. "Why does the New menu even exist for creating new empty files? What’s the point of having a New menu anyway?" Supports my view, I feel.
The rest of the article is a schizophrenic compilation of often single-sentence paragraphs barely relating to each other. Regardless, having your articles' title and opening sentence to mean the opposite of what you intend is pretty bad writing, if that's what you're proposing he's doing.
(edit: Sorry OP, apparently you've touched a nerve here)
That makes the whole article make a lot more sense, thanks. I guess I was reading the body as if it was elaborating on (what I read as) a complaint in the headline, not a question leading to an answer.
