I agree. The article is actually pretty good and provides useful tips. Even as a programmer I've many times been annoyed by these kinds of UI laziness, usually in "enterprise software".
It's not only programmers that make these kinds of mistakes, though. Also designers that come from a "forms on paper" background, or simply don't know enough of HTML/JS to make friendlier forms. So they simply make an unending list of text fields...
My most common annoyance with forms on the web is asking things that you A) don't need to know or B) already know.
