I had a sub for about the first 6-8 issues. Since I stayed 3.5 (and now play e6), I let mine lapse.
I thought it had then (and may still have) a very steampunky overtone to just about everything. It was very "modern" in the approaches it took to creating things.
I run a campaign with a sort of medieval/dark ages (more Harn than Forgotten Realms) feel, and I didn't think most of the monsters or adventure concepts fit my world.
But the writing is top notch and the game design is great. So I'd definitely give it a look.
