Do you use it? Do you like it? If you don’t like it, do you think it can be improved sufficiently or should it ideally be replaced with something else?

What do you think of the broader StackExchange community as a whole?

    Say what you want about overzealous moderators, it is an incredibly useful resource. It’s easy to take it for granted but I remember the days before SO and it was much harder to find good answers to programming questions.

    In theory it could be replaced with something else but good moderation and a very product-oriented leadership (mostly programmers, not MBA types) is what made SO what it is. These intangible “soft” qualities are the hard part - it would be easy to duplicate its technology.
