I would wager part of the excitement is that Panic is an excellent and long-standing company in the Apple community, and they've proven time and time again they can release quality, beautiful software.
As the type of Mac user that has one foot in the console and one foot in the pretty GUI that is OS X, it's pretty great when someone can bridge that gap -- be it a kickass Terminal like iTerm2, or what I can only expect is an excellent app from Panic, Prompt.
Skip the marketing (still good copy to read), find some way to use the app and judge Panic that way.
