Your article does a good job in explaining some issues with agile.I think the strength of agile is to quickly produce some application level software that works OK-ish with a mixed bunch of developers. Some online shop software written in J2EE would be a good example for this. IMO if you are an extraordinary developer producing cleaner and more efficient code than the people around you, working in a religiously agile project will kill your passion before the first seven Scrum sprints have finished because you're confrontend with shitty code and short sighted architecture all the time.

A good example of how a non-agile project succeeds is the Linux kernel. Linus Torvalds and his mates do a fantastic job driving this software.
