What Happened to Head to Head Reviews?

The guy who I pretty much credit with getting me into this whole writing thing, Roopinder Tara, poses this question on his CAD Insider blog: “What Happened to Head to Head Reviews?”

I’m trying to remember the last effective GIS review, let alone comparative GIS review, I read. I do recall GovTech I believe doing one or more comparisons of desktop GIS (ArcView, MapInfo…) a while back. But since, there’s very little reviewing at all.

Do we, as one commenter to the post suggests, not really need such reviews? Are they not really valuable? Can we blame the same issues the other commenters offer for the dearth of reviews of geospatial (especially high end desktop and server solutions)?
