Videos are harder to store (they are a lot larger then every other type of content), to create (video codecs are very bad at encoding text) and - the hardest part - to consume (you need to either memorize the whole process or enter infinite "play - skip backwards - pause" cycle to follow instructions).
It only pays of for very UI-heavy software with tricky interaction and "low discoverability" of UI elements, but even then screenshots normally do better. Effectively the only good cases for screencasts I've seen to date are video games and Metro UI. > Anyway, there is room for both mediums. Suckless software workflow is much easier to describe in plain text. If there is any room for screencasting, it definitely isn't here. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
