Hi, Mike,
Actually, no we're not moving away from this.  A few of our products' Help didn't contain screenshots and the pop-ups you're referring to.  While we have been working toward adding screenshots and pop-ups to these other products' Help (eg. User Preferences), it's actually a huge job and will take more time to filter this throughout.
Thank you for the feedback.
