Honestly the coolest part of their rocket is the 3d printed engine. I'm keeping an eye on them and Relativity Space for that very reason.
But outside of that, they're just not going to revolutionize space travel. They're a non-reusable SLLV company and a lot of their central tech doesn't scale up past that size. They have a market now by guaranteeing launch times but its unclear how that will hold up long term with reusable rockets driving prices down. Even now a Falcon 9 is <10% of the price per kg to LEO than the Electron. Added all that to the fact that they're still young, it makes sense that Blue Origin and SpaceX have more fanboys.
