My clients don't have a problem with reCAPTCHA - at least it works, unlike the demo you linked to...

It's total reliance on javascript is pretty horrible.

I doubt it would be hard to write a bot to recognise the captcha and
deduce which hidden field is the one with the key in it. Methods like
this rely on obscurity to stop bots. If they became common the bots
would soon be modified to deal with them.

What is the point of the slider - it seems contrived as an action for a
human to do, not an action to differentiate between a human and a bot
which is the point of a captcha.

It doesn't totally rely on javascript - it appears to require CSS to be enabled as well.

And there doesn't appear to be anything there for the blind.
