I pretty much agree with the author of that article.
At first, the only issue I had with the Combos was price, but I dealt with it because I did find the SD side valuable. However, all the playback problems of the combos pretty much drove me away from them. Unless it was a "must have" title and I had no other choice, I stopped buying combos all together.
At this point I am completely against combos specifically because they may drive people to purchase the BD version, as the author also pointed out.
I also am exceptionally leary of the Warner THD discs, if they ever show up. However, I also worry about the HD DVD twin that we've heard so much about lately. If we see the same problems with those discs, it's going to hurt HD DVD very badly.
