Yes, I do, and I'd say the opposite. I started using incremental reading after using Anki for 11 years, and now, five years later, there is no way I would go back to the Anki style.

You can check my YouTube channel, 'Pleasurable Learning', for a course and many videos on how to get started with incremental reading.
