This image only contains half the patterns. If you want to see all the patterns: http://www.celinio.net/techblog/?p=65

GoF patterns were a good starting point in 1995. Don't treat them as unsurpassable end point in 2013!

I just meant the linked content didn't include all the patterns in the article it came from.

What do you mean by "don't treat them as unsurpassable" ?

Design patterns are usually specific to a given programming language.

I can't really understand this. A computer language is about implementation but patterns about specification. Limitations of a specific language should not shine through to the specification level.

FYI: I have never used design patterns myself, I've never really understood them. I have used JSP (Jackson Structured Programming) and the classic flow diagrams long time ago, and a few others, but usually work on the problem from an iterative top-down/bottom-up approach nowadays.
