Yeah, my reaction to most of these sorts of articles is "lawl, handwriting." Even on my Note 3, it's usually faster for me to type by tapping on Hacker's Keyboard than to use handwriting recognition (even if the recognition were perfect) and a lot of people seem to find Swyft-style keyboards really efficient. Eventually I think handwriting will go away just about entirely, and all that will remain will be reserved for moments like in The Diamond Age when a character is taken aback at the quality of an invitation's Chinese calligraphy, and the fact that it's used is more for a status symbol of being able to learn such an unnecessary art and perform it well than for anything else.
