I enjoyed the podcast that Marco had on the 5by5 network because he seemed like such a regular guy who happens to work hard and put out a popular product. A lot of times it also motivated me to get to work on my own things. Congrats to him and Im looking forward to what he does next

Unrelated to the article, but Marco & a couple others now run a different podcast: http://atp.fm/

Has there been some sort of falling out between Arment, Siracusa and Gruber - they all left 5by5 within a short time of the Gruber move, and in my opinion their shows are now worse.

Nope.

I think for the two recent guys that left, they were just burned out on having to carry all the content of a weekly show alone. Now their new podcast is more of a conversation and they can just BS without much prep.

For Gruber, I assume it was just money. Someone else offered him more or an ownership stake that he wasn't going to get from 5x5.

Gruber left in February 2012 [1]. Hypercritical continued until December [2]. Build and Analyze the same [3].

Siracusa and Arment both said they thought the shows had run the course. Siracusa is also a regular on The Incomparable [4].

Nicely referenced. I just noted that Siracusa and Marco seemed to start shows very soon after leaving and despite saying things about probably coming back they haven't.
