Is this becoming popular? It does look interesting to say the least, and fairly easy to observe a number of faint objects in quick succession.
Does this taint the art of visual observing? Does this taint the art of astrophotography? Or is it more just whatever works for you..
What hardware/software do you need? Generally, do you recommend it?

I remember Dennis Madge, our old camera club chairman and what he said when I entered a print from a digital camera into a competition when I had one of the first Fuji (FZ7 I think) cameras, "As long as I am Chairman we will never accept digital in this club.
He is not any more, a lot older and uses Digital !!!!!
There is a place for everything, Unlike many people I "see" the wider picture, there are disabled, visually impaired, physically disabled etc who could benefit from this as well as others.
Would I get one, no, but I am not blinkered, I did say I would never buy a digital camera until they surpassed film, when these surpass a good triplet APO Refractor, perhaps.
