For me it has been a blessing. I've always struggled to keep focused when reading walls of text, but now I can get a visual guide.
For quick "was it Y?" I've never failed to find a brief written answer (usually in SO, reddit or the rare forum post).
For long tutorials, I've managed to find stuff that gets to the point very fast. SponsorBlock for YouTube is also pretty good for skipping meanderings.
We have choices now. What works for you is good, what works for others is also good.
