Yes, I was aware, though only much after I watched his videos.
To me, the didactic style is what matters, not the intellectual prowess of the mathematician in question. For this topic, and the depth to which I wanted to expose myself, I've found Pavel more accessible than anyone else.

But I learned linear algebra from those Strang videos, so I have a soft spot for them. (Watch them at 3x, and then at the end of each one, reward yourself by setting it back to 1x, and Gil Strang sounds like he's on a Robotussin bender.)
