Everything is always in between right. The "negative take" is that you are getting content similar to a Udemy course and paying to have mentors help you through it, and that's expensive! The "positive take" is that underlying content is basically free all over the internet so they want to allocate more resources to better mentors than more bootcamps (that rely on current and former students to grade work).
So I think it depends on how you value their mentorship style. Like bootcamps often have many former students who just did materials helping you through it. Springboard has industry engineers who are less closely connected to the program, helping you through it.
