They are flying on the wings of being a boingboing meme but that might not carry them too far unless they shape up.

Such as IndieGoGo which actually predates Kickstarter by at least a year. They should get their act together because it's definitely not hip. Others do it.

I don't know of any other trustworthy payment option that allows a pledge-and-pay-a-month-later model. If you know of one, why not contact Kickstarter and tell them about it rather than whining pointlessly.
