The only difference between this method and 'traditional' long division is the use of a fixed product of the divisor with each iteration instead of trying to find the largest possible number to subtract. If anything, this just shifts the emphasis away from multiplication to subtraction, which I think is strange. That said, I don't have a big problem with this as a method for learning division. I think my reaction is related more to the memory of 'show your work!' and the thought that this would mean more work to show.
