Credit cards: the answer to all your financial problems?

What do the financially-enlightened folk here on the MSE forums reckon to this article?

Oh, apparently "as a new user" I'm not allowed to post with links. Never mind - hope you can still find it...

Credit cards can be great, and especially if you're organised and good at stoozing, but you can also get into a lot of trouble at credit card interest rates!
