I personally do not like the flavor of the non-Tips and Deals side. I visit maybe once a year for a few minutes, then move on.
One of the reasons there are fewer Mac Tips and Deals is that Apple is not really making a lot of new products. The DM site was really invaluable when we had all these various Mac clones and vendors. If you want the current spirit that drew me to that space, you need to go to a hackintosh board and not here.
What keeps me here is that I often see newsworthy articles and commentary posted BEFORE news aggregation sites like google, etc.
And for the limitless wisdom on countless topics from forumites - from Larry about SSDs, to food safety.
