He might be overrated and he might be an ass sometimes (5by5 saga still bugs me), but his style leaves others in the dust way too often. He credits his sources, and links to sites in such as way that people actually go there. No crappy link hidden in the footnotes. In addition, he acknowledges when he is wrong, both in an update, and back where he made a claim on his site. There is way too little effort given to standards such as these generally, and Gruber sets a high standard.
