Its easy to move through and understand complex code examples.

I like that the code is always visible with the author's explanation.

I like having pictures that describe the state of the program as I'm reading the code.

I like that the comments are linked directly to the lines of code that they are describing.

I like that I can control the speed that I move through the code.

I like that I can copy and paste code and/or download the code at any point from the playback.

Anything else?
