Why read slashdot when you can get the news early, and with less idiots at newsforge?
Atmosphere!

Slashdot's got that certain something. Were I in advertising, I would say it's got a deep connection to the pulse of the geek street cred, or some such hogwash.
Me, personally, I just didn't know about newsforge. I'll have to take a look.
Variety
I think I prefer the variety. Yes, it is rather geek-centric; however, it doesn't seem to be exclusively linux/hardware/industry heavy.
Of course, that's just my opinion.
of course

NewsForge is primarily an offshoot of Slashdot anyway. They use the Slash code (and coders) and roblimo edits on both sites.
