Goranson gets beyond just software reviewing and into something we might call software criticism: analyzing the philosophies and assumptions that are implied by interface and feature decisions. Almost every bi-monthly column is fascinating, but if I had to point to just one from the previous year, it would be either May's "Outlining Workflows and ConceptDraw" (http://www.atpm.com/12.05/atpo.shtml) or July's "Outlining Interface Futures" (http://www.atpm.com/12.07/atpo.shtml).

John Gruber has an excellent writing style as well as a remarkable ability to drill through FUD to get to the real issues. I’d nominate “Daring Fireball” (http://daringfireball.net).
