The article doesn't say you shouldn't use Unicode. But it explains that only using Unicode just isn't enough. You need more. You shouldn't stop thinking at Unicode. Don't JUST use Unicode, use Unicode and more.

A small example: many programs do not fold accents. So when I start typing "lo" in the to: field of most email apps, it suggests "Lorena Foo" but not "Fulanito López".
