Regarding flat design, I think the criticisms raised in this article are criticisms of poorly executed flat design, not flat design in general.
With that said, I think a lot of underskilled designers are mistaking flat design for ambiguous/overminimalist design[1]. A lot of flat design is horrible, but it's not because it's flat (per se), it's because the designer took an existing visual asset and "simplified" it rather than taking the time to redesign it without skeuomorphic or 3d elements.
