This article spends a ton of time explaining very rudimentary things and then completely glosses over what it intends to convey.

C-style casts aren't evil, but they are powerful. They can also be used in places where more than one C++ cast would be required. C developers are very likely to use the C style because it mostly gets the job done the first try.

C developers working on C++ code are not likely to be swayed much by anything that doesn't make a strong case for having 4 different cast operators and this article doesn't manage to do that.
