It's certainly better at some things, but in general, I think it's a worse platform for conveying information.
- find content within a video is difficult (I'd rather search text)
- you're at the mercy of the presenter's pace (you can adjust speed, but that's only part of the story)
- sometimes listening isn't an option
- sometimes presenters rely too much on visuals, so you have to watch as well
- video can't be as easily edited as text, so most people just put subtitles to point out errors (this doesn't help if you're not watching)
- less easy to link to additional information than text
In general, unless someone is demonstrating a step-by-step, graphical process, I prefer text.
