My point is not that the product is bad, but that there are many products just as good, hitting the same demo.
I'm sure the team is great and the investors are great, but let's be honest, the product is fairly light right now. The UI is nifty, but there's nothing special about it.
I'm not trying to knock the guys, I'm simply trying to determine why they've become such media darlings without really having delivered anything.
Please share these other products with us. I genuinely want to know - out of curiosity and because Codecademy tops out too quickly as it is (I had a relative of mine try it out.)
Then of course there are sites like Peepcode, Udemy, and a host of others that offer tutorials, which aren't quite the same, but stil serve the same purpose.
