I've used a CSS reset in all my projects (both work and personal) for the last 7 years, and I agree that it's not mandatory for a successful product.
The CSS reset is a convenient tool for the visual layout only. It helps with browser consistency and prevents margin/padding/font-size issues mostly, but it won't turn your idea into a successful product. I think that's the only message the article meant to convey.
