Right but a looot of the criticism online is based on assumptions (either personal or inherited from other commenters) that haven’t been updated since 2006.

Well, at more elite schools at least, the general assumption is that programming is mostly something you pick up on your own. It's not CS. Some folks will disagree of course but I think that's the reality. I took an MIT Intro to Algorithms/CS MOOC course a few years back out of curiosity and there was a Python book associated with the course but you were mostly on your own with it.
