My feelings were the opposite.  Nibble was great when I was learning
to program the Apple II (back in about 1982 to 1984), but subsequently
it was almost completely useless (at least, the programming
information).  Keying in programs by hand gets very dull after you've
done it for a couple of years.

A+/Incider, on the other hand, was great for finding out about
products that were available, product reviews, advertisers, etc.  I
was rather disappointed when Incider took over A+, which I always felt
to be the better magazine of the two, both in content and accuracy.
