I think c't -- a German language magazine for "computer technology" is the last of the classic "quality" computer magazines.

Byte was perhaps the best known, in English at least, and certainly in its prime published some excellent articles. The Smalltalk edition is perhaps the most famous, but there were many, many more. I think they're all on archive.org now.

Dr Dobbs (the Journal of Computer Calisthenics and Orthodontia) was aimed more directly at programmers, but again had an extended peak period during which it was excellent.

There were numerous second-tier magazines, the UK and Australia/NZ for instance had their own titles, which spanned the period from hobbyist 8-bit S-100 systems through to the tail of the "desktop computer" era.

I'm not aware of anything remotely comparable currently available.
