I use them all the time. I even bookmarked some more!
Edit: just read the article and the GNOME devs aren't suggesting "downloads" to be the only folder at all! It's a joke the author of the article put in at the end, since it's where all his downloaded videos, pictures and documents go and he's too lazy to move the files so he uses that folder the most.
They really want to reduce the default list but allow more configurability to add your own shortcuts.
Also, they're renaming "other locations" to "network" which seems silly to me, because i have 5 local unmounted disks in there and 1 network share. Following their logic it should be renamed to "local disks" instead. /s
