Cassette tapes are worst in terms of a lot of things. They lack the width and height of vinyl and CD so album art is not as cool. It is difficult and time consuming to skip a track or skip to a favorite track. And they can get "eaten" by the playback device.
I think one of the main reasons cassettes caught on is that people could make mix tapes. Even after I adopted CDs, I always had cassette players and recorders around for mix tapes (until later, when recordable CDs and the computers to record them with became much cheaper).
Any revival (I've literally heard of this from nowhere except the article) is probably due to the nostalgic feel combined with the ability to make mix tapes.
