I don't write for it all that often (and it doesn't pay much anyway) so I've no particular axe to grind- but out of interest what did you think was wrong with it before?
Incidentally I agree that it is very useful, I just don't myself feel the need to add "has become".

(And, since I'm in the mood to be slightly controversial, I wonder when a certain person who wrote in the current issue, and in a not too distant issue of Popular Flying about airmanship and being familiar with your aircraft type is going to publically admit to wrecking on take-off a perfectly serviceable aeroplane about 4 years ago that they jumped in with no experience on type, not having read the manual, confirmed that the aircraft could legally be flown by him or spoken to an instructor who knew the type - all ostensibly to help a low-hours owner improve their own handling of it?).
