The format is good enough, but I really dislike the idea of enforcing it for every question. As a top comment suggested, some of the most interesting questions in SO are sort of open-ended. Most of my questions and answers there (~3.5k reputation) violate your format.
- pas 6y agoSure, but those are the exceptions. They are fine (or they should be), after all there's enough space for both. OP is complaining (not without merit) about the typical X Y questions, that are hard to answer, because there's a very specific question, but very little actual context that would help creative solutions. This leads to boring brute-force hackish answers. At best.
