I wouldn't say StackOverflow is especially beloved by developers. Coders on X/Twitter used to complain about how much they dislike SO all the time; I see less of those now, probably because they've switched to using ChatGPT. When I've seen blog posts or headlines about them in the past 1-2 years, they're usually about how "StackOverflow is dying."
