That article reads like it was written 5 to 10 years ago, with few exceptions.

No mention of reflector technologies to help direct more light to where you want/need it, that dimmable CFLs and non compact fluorescents are available. That anyone serious about colour reproduction and light quality has already been using fluorescents for years (high CRI models that mimic daylight, like Tri-Phosphor tubes).

I think we're starting to see rapid adoption of CFL. Home Depot and other big-box stores are carrying greater variety and quantity every day. Compare this to how long it took them to start carrying T-8 linear bulbs and/or how slow adoption in commercial applications has been (yes, retrofitting hundreds of fixtures for high-efficiency electronic ballasts isn't cheap).

There was also no mention of new recycling technologies to reclaim the mercury from discarded CFLs. This is very important until such a time as a non-mercury product becomes viable. I hate "fluff" reporting.
