StackOverflow has been very clear that they don't intend to be a discussion site. Even if you like subjective questions, that doesn't mean that a site shouldn't be able to specialize in something else.
I like basketball. But I wouldn't expect stackoverflow to allow basketball questions.
This isn't a judgment on the value of discussions... but there are other sites for that.
- keithpeter 14y agoAsking if a question is subjective may, itself, be a subjective question. Communities of Practice (Lave, Wenger) are held together by sharing a common repertoire of practices, and opinions. Newcomers may want to explore these shared opinions. SE is obviously not a place where they can do that, so I end up agreeing with your final sentence.
