There comes a time in your life when you have stop learning how to learn and actually start learning. If someone can’t use a regular gemara either because of lack of time or because of lack of skill – then bh there is an art scroll gemara.
R’ Shneur Kotler ztl in his haskoma to art scroll mishnayos quotes rashi in mishpatim that says you should lay out th mishpatim like a table set for them. I think he knew about Ameilus.
My only critique of art scroll is that a person will not end up learning rashi as his first choice. But that’s a flaw in the person not the product.
Also – people forget that art scroll many times points you to the right seforim to delve deeper.
