Most importantly it is not another "aint the Mac the most wonderful thing since Sex" magazine. My subscription to MacWorld expired and I was tempted to resubscribe but I'm giving my business to MacUser instead.

A quick seconding of this review, though perhaps not quite as enthusiastic.
However, it is better than MacWorld, and so I'm dropping my MacWorld
subscription in preference to MacUser.
