I think if you were not in the front-end scene during the 2000s, you don't understand how miserable it was. For most of that decade, we had to make sure our sites were compatible with IE6. Flash was vying to take over. Without the work that publications like A List Apart did (along with Mozilla) the web might look much different (worse) today. They were thought leaders.
They shaped what was actually happening in the industry in a time when front-end development was changing dramatically year over year. It makes me sad that they seem to be slipping from our collective memory a bit.
