Do go to a site like pouet.net, and recalibrate yourself based on what people were doing way back toward the genesis of the scene, when there weren't any demo competitions and it was just a few guys fooling around with stuff for hack value.
Compare a hack like this to what people were doing back when even something like copper bars was seen as being pretty cool. Don't compare people doing the equivalent of display hacks using a relatively new technology to what the culture around display hacks grew into after several decades of active fermentation. That'd be right up there with poo-pooing a local recreational sports league because the players aren't as good as what you're used to seeing in the professional leagues on TV.
