Is "Gartner like a mainframe in 1979 | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com"?
Here is fun quote on Gartner:
» Gartner is like a mainframe in 1979 Between the Lines ZDNet.com: "Gartner is like a mainframe in 1979. Ripe for deconstruction.' So says Redmonk analyst James Governor in his post about transparency and the analyst business."
Agreed? Do you still like what they say [sometimes]? Even though it is highly fashionable to slam Gartner as a bunch of 'you-know-whos' :-), I [with some fear] admit that I often like how they organize the information.
Whether you love or hate your position in the famous Magic Quadrant, this information organization and presentation tool is pretty brilliant!

The real issue with industry analysts is that each firm has a level of depth they go to. For example, Gartner's quadrants are using for management types while Burton Group is more useful for architects.
Each firm has their target demographic.
