Archons blow.
Yes, they can be made by any Templar.
Yes, their armor is stronger now.
But no, they are not good. Their splash sucks and there's ultimately no reason to use Archons outside PvZ.

Since all the Terrans are now going for Biological vs. Protoss, I have watched some really nice games where Protoss raped M&M&M with mass Zealots + Archons, so I won't say that they suck outside of PvZ. I think the only match where they are not that useful is actually PvP.

You can back up your anti-MMM Zealots with Colossus/Immortal/Stalker for a fraction of the cost of getting Templar Tech. Plus the Bay gives you access to crucial Observers and Prisms. Unless you're trying something crazy, building Archons vs T is insane.

Going archons vs terran is dumb, but its also dumb to not morph HT that used their storms up into archons. Storm is still very useful against terran (as is feedback sometimes)

This. I am not saying just going for pure Archons, but when you already have HTs that will be useful for Psi Storm and Feedback(freaking awesome ability), Archons there are really useful after HTs lose all of their energy. They are doing some serious damage to M&M, something like Colossus but in smaller radius and are good meat shield for those Marines.

Your never suposed to build archons ever(as in your never going to want to warp templar in and not use storm), there ment to be used during the battle after you've spent there energy, usally storm makes the enemy back away anyway - therefore if you morph them then as the battle continues and reinforcements are warped in (more templar) your melee army gets support of otherwise useless casters.
