I don't know if this was your intent, but reading your comment there seems an implication XML is no longer a good fit for anything, really.
But from the article:
"When XML was originally conceived, it was meant for document formats. And by that standard… boy! did it succeed! Virtually all word processing and e-book formats are in XML today."
Document formats is a large, important area of technology. I suppose each of us can decide if that means XML's glass is half-full, or half-empty.
