I disagree. "What is the best Javascript framework?" may have garnered +2,000 votes for "jQuery" seven years ago. What would that question look like to a newbie today?
They would likely be confused whether they should use jQuery, Backbone, or React, as they'll all be intermixed as highly upvoted.
- jonahx 9y agoSo because it could potentially confuse a newbie, all the professional developers who can easily incorporate the contexts of the questions dates and their knowledge should be denied the ability to share useful information? This is thing: I'm not arguing (and I don't think anyone is) that these questions have answers. I'm arguing that access to the opinions of others, along with their reputation and other indicators of alignment with your own values, has immense value. More value than the technical questions that do have right and wrong answers. I can sort through the information myself can come to an informed conclusion.
- shagie 9y agoIf I may point over at Slant.co for this type of question - https://www.slant.co/topics/5699/~javascript-frontend-frameworks https://www.slant.co/topics/5699/~javascript-frontend-framew... ; it appears to do the "what is the best XYZ" much better than a Stack Overflow question.
