Only in one sense - In case of what you want and what you have are in contradiction, it's often better to adjust the idea of what you want and settle for what you have as much as possible. Custom solution start rotting immediately when people stop caring about it, whereas something compatible with rest of the tech out there (rst, sphinx, s5, ...) will attract passerby attention again and again. Rationale is that if you co-operate with an existing "recognized" solution, you'll at least end up with something useful (leo S5 integration) even if the original aim (screenbook) didn't turn out to be hugely important. Tutorials like screenbook and screencasts are more about marketing than anything else. Making a screencast is a *lot* easier, and the audience gains roughly as much from it (they are also better for the impatient). When I checked out the screenbooks, I didn't necessarily use it as a learning tool. In was marketing for me - it showed me that Leo is cool. I would have got exactly the same thought if someone had made a screencast that exhibited the same ideas. -- Ville M.
