I will use that on my sample images later today or tomorrow - but what I have seen in the samples in the above blog post looks so much more consistent than the mess that DxO is producing - the statement "Noise is an integral part of photography." and "A bit of noise is not an issue and can actually make a photo look more natural." clearly show which emphasis was put on the development.
There has a been a noise obsession in all forums which I think is a good thing because it forces companies to produce better products. The key is reducing noise in your primary subject while retaining detail. I'm all for that.
Before LrC introduced advanced masking I sometimes used his two step stage. Adjust one file for background noise, the other for subject and send both files to PS. In PS you layer them, paint out one layer and you get the best of both worlds. He says a bit of noise is necessary to avoid pixelization.

I just found this video which is pretty good. So does he. Pretty good video actually.

If I look at the moose image in that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53WOnLZ8P1s then I get the feeling that Adobe have made the first truly integrated noise reduction that uses an AI sensor model to tackle possible pattern noise due to analog and A/D conversion sources and then have chosen to apply noise reduction while demosaicing piggybacking onto the (inevitably activated) enhanced detail RAW processing engine they introduced a while back.
