I think it depends on the person. I much prefer text tutorials over video; it's too much of a hassle to rewind a video over and over again to see what the author is doing.
Agreed, I hate the trend to have tutorials as videos nowadays.
Not to mention that it also excludes deaf people unless manually transcribed, or if the speaker is clear enough that automatic transcription is possible, but I doubt that is possible with programming videos yet.
