The early Role Aids books also fill a gap between the time people ware starting to want to stretch 1E AD&D, and the time TSR published 2E AD&D, and there weren't many independants filling that gap.I think the bastardization of CSIO, and its transportation to a little island in the land of Zog (Verdigris Testament anyone?), really destroyed their credibility. That one product line has tainted all their work.
