Single speeds are just fine, fixies are not.
Completely disagree. A fixie without brakes is not suitable for commuting, but I have road, single track and touring bikes each for their respective purposes and I so prefer the experience of riding fixed gear in the city. My fixie has been my main commuter for a couple of years and it is the most enjoyable experience of feeling totally tuned in and in control of a bike.
