Hell yes, edX is the best-designed of the lot of them so I'm glad Google's chosen to throw their lot in with them. It puts Coursera to shame, for sure.

My impression is that the edX codebase is not so good; google intends to fix that.

Clarification: Best-designed from an end-user UI standpoint. I agree that the code is probably pretty bad, given that it slows to a grinding crawl when it's nearing the due date of a big assignment for a subject. Page load times tend to skyrocket and everything bogs down.

I have a feeling that those sorts of things can be optimised though. On the other hand, the UI is more concrete, because it's what people are used to.
