Anyone else here get the impression that the reporter didn't do all his homework?

Mark Coincidentally, Michael Reichmann's latest essay was on this very topic (LINK HERE CCDs...are still in use at the high end of image capture, including in all medium format digital backs. The reason for this is their superior image quality. They have the potential for greater light sensitivity, lower noise and higher dynamic range. This is not to say that there aren't CMOS cameras that are capable of very good, even excellent performance in these areas. But, one has to ask why companies like Phase One, Leaf, Hasselblad / Imacon, and various military and scientific applications prefer to use CCD chips, in spite of their higher costs, greater power needs and other drawbacks. The answer likely comes down to one thing – image quality. .

Some of his statements are debatable, some are incorrect given the state of the art (like: "professional DSLR can shoot up to 5 frames per second", which should be: "starting from 5 fps" (even my 20D can do 5fps!)).

The fact that most CMOS and CCD's are smaller than standard 35mm film making the lenses act differently. iirc they scale up by 1.6, so if you were using a regular 18mm lens you would end up with a 28mm shot. The 30D is the only one in the review with a full frame CMOS I believe. Exactly my point: he's targeting a non-expert audience.
