tbf, you have to compare it to what came before - old style forums dedicated to any given language, framework, or technology. Not only was stack better at consolidating questions and answers, it significantly cut down on the verbal abuse levelled at new coders. [Closed as Duplicate] might be offputting - but it is still better than 3 pages of insults and squabbling because you asked how to close vim.
