For anyone who stops half way thinking this is some comeback of the marketing of makerbot, keep reading. Overall it's a fair summary of what happened in the world of makerbot.
As someone who was listening when makerbot was just starting up, I think that Makerbot as a company both did 3D printing a great service and a great disservice. Without makerbot it's entirely possible that without makerbot making as big of a splash as they did and without the press that they were able to create 3d printing wouldn't have taken off like it did. Unfortunately the disservices that they then did to the 3d printing community had so much more of an impact because of all that press that was primarily focused on them and equating '3d printer' to mean 'makerbot'.
All that said, I'll never give up my 3D printers. For me it was still a revolution, I think I just had a lower bar for what it needed to be to be a revolution.
