Disagree: I always want the lowest ISO possible, IS wont help me when taking a 3 second exposure of a river in the woods, I don't want to pay a potential extra $600 for a lens when a tripod will work just as well most of the time. This doesn't mean I don't take advantage of higher ISOs when necessary though
This guy is totally wrong. I think you guys summed it up pretty nice, I have noting to say except that this guy is **so** wrong!

You have to consider the source. Ken Rockwell seems to make his living by making huge, bold statements that tend to fly in the face of, well, just about everyone and everything. I enjoy his website very much, but I also take a lot of what he says with a grain of salt. Some of his other crazy statements include (paraphrased) that there is no reason to use more than 6 megapixels, the Nikon D40 is the dslr that almost everyone should use if they want to make outstanding images, and that he can afford to buy all of the mega expensive gear that he has because he drinks water instead of coffee and soda!
