Face it, Re/Code's main selling point is its conferences. I bet Vox values them (and the names that run them) more than the Re/Code site.
To me, Re/Code and AllThingsD were not about tech, they were about money. Who has it, who just spent it, who just made it, who just lost it. The "D" in AllThingsD was to me not "digital" but "dollar."
It would be interesting to learn if the Re/Code folks got along with their owners (CNBC?) or if that was a clash, and one party wanted out.
