Key quote from the article:

[W]e consulted with a number of software companies. They said, "We  
can develop applications 20 to 25% faster than with ASP.NET than we  
can with J2EE."


The statement that these companies made is that they can work faster  
is ASP.net than in J2EE.  Miguel is then jumping from there to  
"therefore MVC is the problem."  Personally, I'd look to some other  
points about J2EE before I blamed it on the MVC pattern.
