Probably, although I wouldn't blame you - I've not used them myself outside of toy projects (and that was some time ago now).
Not necessarily hardware design - they're apparently quite common in microcontroller programming too. They seem like a good natural fit for these kinds of applications (the hardware is in "waiting for a command" state; the game character is in "search for player" state, ...) and probably not such a neat fit for, say, serving templated HTML and what the article says does feel rather true to me (and probably why I haven't tried it yet either): it is a lot of work to get started. But, as is being discussed in this thread, it does seem like it may be worthwhile and its definitely worth exploring more, especially if we can figure out a way to reduce the initial learning curve.
