I like John Gruber’s writing, but he sure does come across as a noble defender of the Apple faith instead of, y’know, a writer
I feel the same. Gruber’s linked list is consistently high quality, but Apple’s recent successes with the iPhone and stock market valuation seems to have turned his head from writing well-reasoned articles about software. Now it’s all triumphalist odes to Apple’s greatness.
