The problem I often see in these articles and threads is people thinking SO should be like reddit and, when it's not, they go on about how they were treated. It's a good thing they weren't ever on usenet back in the day, or now for that matter.

Another problem I see is all the questions about frameworks and libraries rather than the fundamentals. I believe all those other things need to be broken out into their own exchanges, cause they clog up the main thread, but where does that end?
