Just checked that out from the other comment, actually. Not bad for the simple stuff, but it looks like it sticks to one-sentence pros and cons for each solution. Like for example, one of the top questions there right now is for what is the best blogging platform. The answers are stuff like WordPress - Widely Used and Ghost - Markdown support. I'd like to see something more like a detailed description of the pros and cons of hosting a Wordpress blog vs a Ghost blog by somebody who has actually done both.

  Slant.co is still the appropriate place for that. A lot of the answers are minimal on detail but only because whoever created the answers wrote it that way. Some of their comparisons get a lot more in depth. They have a meta discussion site if you want to know more.

    Thanks Logn :D @ufmace our problem is more with surfacing consistently quality content than issues with the information architecture. Apologies that you weren't able to find something impressive. Maybe one of the following links might change your mind: http://www.slant.co/topics/1150/~what-is-the-best-keyboard-for-programming http://www.slant.co/topics/1150/~what-is-the-best-keyboard-f... http://www.slant.co/topics/186/~what-is-the-best-hosted-continuous-integration-ci-service http://www.slant.co/topics/186/~what-is-the-best-hosted-cont... http://www.slant.co/topics/217/~what-is-the-best-css-preprocessor http://www.slant.co/topics/217/~what-is-the-best-css-preproc... (this one is missing a lot of sources...) http://www.slant.co/topics/865/~what-is-the-best-vpn-provider http://www.slant.co/topics/865/~what-is-the-best-vpn-provide... Please note that you can click "read X more reasons" to get fully fleshed out pros/cons (ie not just a single sentence) with sources backing them up. We're working really hard to try and solve this problem and get our content more consistently fleshed out. Please let me know if you have anything you would like us to improve on. I saw before that "people who actually used them" is a big bonus for you, we're working on this :)

    It doesn't really encourage discussion though. I prefer Quora for the discussion, but it lacks in other areas.
