You are expected to put a few tags on a question if you ask one and normally some editor person will mangle your English to remove the nuance that your question was really about to possibly also update the tags to maybe not quite fit your question. This is remarkably unappreciative, however, it is interesting how any website that gets established garners an army of helpers who do these things. Wikipedia being the classic for this expertise-ism. So even if tags are not your thing then whatever question you see on StackOverflow will be fully tagged up. If the software doesn't suggest some when asking some keen person will add them in. If you are interested in a particularly obscure software package that does not have its own StackOverflow site then you will fond the square bracket search option (for the tags) is a good way of finding out what is new in that niche and what cool features or tips you can borrow for your own project. At a guess the unrelated questions - 'top network questions' - are more likely to get clicks than the SO search box. So, to answer your question, the answer is 'no'. Aside from the one DDG user on HN that maintains a gopher site and the really computer-phobic uncle that uses Bing! with Windows XP the whole English speaking world is using Google. China is different.
