What I find interesting how so many people say RTK saves people from burnout because it makes kanji easy, but from what I've seen on this forum (based on RTK) there are a LOT of people who make threads saying "this is my third attempt, last time I got to around 1000, hopefully I can actually make it this time". RTK doesn't save people from burning out, it makes people burnout. Compared to just learning vocabulary at least it's a lot more abstract which leads people to question why they're even bothering (and for good reason) which leads to doubt and they give up.
Also it's not just Heisig, the idea that you need to learn kanji individually at all to learn Japanese is a myth that needs to be broken. You only need to learn words, and whatever information you learn about the kanji from that is all you ever need in the first place.
