Not necessarily. StackOverflow was much needed by a well-defined userbase, and unique in its approach.
This is much more open-ended, and however nice it might be, there are other products attempting the same thing already.

Here we don't have any particular topic, our goal is to make your topic successful, whatever it is, through open source software and community. In other words Discourse is only successful in the sense that it lets you be successful.
