I would hardly say that deep learning has taken over - some of the best results in the last few years have come from 'classical' domains like nonlinear optimization.
Well, the article is arguing deep learning has taken most of the "mindshare", the attention of most researchers. If great results are coming from other parts of the field, that would be a reason to be concerned.
