Both can be useful - especially if video is with live coding. Texts often omit the small details that are perhaps obvious to the author, but you are not aware of them. IMHO every installation instruction out there that takes more than copy&pasting 2 lines of text should be in a form of a video, because there's always that one step that is not in the text...

The problem with doing that, however, is that you are doing something a specific way, on a specific platform, using specific tools. That can make it frustrating or even impossible for viewers/readers to break out of your specific workflow/tools/platform, which is usually what they want to do.
