I have an actual use for STI.

I store a data grid, of which there are two types of headers. Row and column headers. (Headers must be their own object for various reasons that are rather boring).

Rows and columns have identical fields. Voila! STI is actually kind of useful!

As for the rest of the article, it seems reasonable but not mindblowing. Good to keep in mind though.
