I found as I switched away from the two space style that I was taught in school back to a single space (coincidentally, after reading the referenced Slate article), there was a short period where the single space felt and looked weird.
Nowadays, I use monospace fonts everywhere, and that second space looks downright horrible, and completely extraneous. I feel like the author here countered a fairly well-reasoned article (Slate) with a very subjective point.
Regarding the note on Vim's sentence handling, I'll probably deal with the occasional failure on a word like Mr. rather than having to type out that extra space after every sentence.
