No thanks from me. The no discussions rule means the only questions on the site are the trivial questions that could be answered by reading some documentation. If questions are broad or open ended, the value lies in the discussion, not in any particular answer. I also found that many accepted answers are blatantly wrong, or encourage very poor practice. Sure, the StackExchange network is better than experts-exchange…

Just because echo doesn't read from files doesn't mean it's useless. If you need to read from files you just use cat instead. Sure, you can coerce both to do the other's job, but it'll be messy and only work half the time and other people will be annoyed at you. Different solutions for different needs.
They are the best programming and general technology questions and answers anywhere by far. Discussions are not tolerated, nor are open-ended questions, but if you need to know the most efficient way to do X in language Y, then look no farther than stackoverflow.

A bit off-topic but: what are good discussion/open-ended questions sites (software development specific)?
A lot of questions were migrated from SO to programmers when it started.

StackExchange is a Q&A community website. Although sometimes discussion would be appreciated, it is not what it was meant for. And by all means, if you find an accepted answer to be wrong, downvote and comment it! The whole point of StackExchange websites is to rate questions and answers!

SE is not meant to be a replacement for reddit or traditional forums. If you want to have discussion by all means have discussion. Just don't do it on SE because SE wasn't made for discussion.

That said the community+software is good at what it does. I can be sad it's intolerant of lists without needing to disparage it further.
> 41 different SE sites Wow, didn't know that there are so many different SE sites, thought there's just one. Anyway SE, its Q&A system and the community are just incredible.
The SE guys do a podcast which gives an insight into their business.
So awesome.
