For some reason, I stand by Apple's side. Sure! If the bug consists of deleting 122 gigs worth of music, then shame on Apple. But, ever since I read the first sentence of the blog, all I heard was nagging and sensationalist writing. And to create lies saying that Apple willingly and purposely deleted those unrecoverable tracks makes my blood boil. Besides that, I hope Apple's music app redesign meets my expectations cause right now it's full of s***.

This is what I keep telling everyone. And when I do, they keep asking: "What is iTunes Match?"
Thing to remember is that after adding the scanned music to AM, it would in some cases delete the corresponding music from the iTunes library leaving it in the AM library. Some folks on the latest didn't have iTunes Match.

Great article and was able to trace when it occurred.
I too thought the same about his writing, and that is what I said it was from the beginning: a piece to get more clicks on his blog. Because in all reality, even if he was writing it while he was restoring from a backup, the time could have been better spent on not such a POS blog posting.
I like Serenity's take on this (From Imore).
@daringfireball @gruber I read it as "we're still not convinced it isn't user error, but we'll make the dialog boxes less terrible."
