The new editors (yes, there are new editors) appear to have their hearts in the right place, and I think that "impeding doom" is quite far from the mark.
These are also people that I've worked with for months for SysAdmin magazine, and they've usually treated my columns with a light hand, and understood when I stomped my feet wanting something put back.

This is sharp contrast to the editors (working for the same empire) on WebTechniques, who seem to be very insistent on removing any personality I put into the column, and introducing their own frequent technical errors by deleting 1 sentence in 5 randomly.

And at the extreme other pole, the editors of Linux Magazine are fellow hackers, who not only leave every joke (and rant) intact, but have been known to add a paragraph or two from time to time when they have further information. Now that's an editor.
