I think he's a bit too bullish on Closure Compiler's advanced compilation mode. It's nice, but if you don't have an extern file for each additional third party library you use, or forget to use dictionary syntax to access properties that CC doesn't know about, your code will fail cryptically and almost silently.

That sounds like a reason to be bullish about it to me. The more popular it is, the more people have to worry about making their code analyzable, the better it works.
