I think the benefit of linked lists depends heavily on use cases, so it really depends.
The case for the problem being solved (random insertion/deletions), I don't disagree with, but he makes some bad arguments at times (paraphrasing): "you need to use a doubly-linked-list or the insertions will have problems" (false), "the data structures are always much larger for a list than for a vector" (true, they are always larger, but depending on the size of the underlying data they may not be *much* bigger), etc.
Anyhoo... TBH the biggest thing is that vectors are generally less leak/error prone, which is a win (forget about performance, if you can't do it reliably then what's the point?).
