To be fair to the article (if not to Cryptocat), the EFF page doesn't give an analysis of the quality of the encryption. The code has been audited, but it doesn't mean the results were satisfactory.
That said, the fact that the page gives bright green happy checkmarks across the board for Cryptocat does become misleading for people who may not know a ton about it.

So it's like a Mitch Hedburg joke? "Yeah this program has been audited by the world's best cryptographers. They said not to use it. " The EFF is doing everyone a disservice by taking such a stance.
