This article has little substance. The arguments don't apply to JWT, it just mentions badly done implementations and an insecure option that obviously nobody would turn on.

What else are we going to use? JWT is basically the simplest token protocol possible that maintains antiforgery properties. It's great that somebody standardized something that most API's were using anyways. If you give anyone that knows crypto the task of making a simple token protocol they will come up with JWT over and over.
