It's not that I hate SO, I just don't find it particularly helpful.
Feels like going to the 13th century catholic church for answers: The answers are as old as they are doctrinal and detached from practical reality, whereas my practical experience is that the honest answer to almost all programming related questions starts with "It depends".
The fact that the medium is set up for each question having a definitive answer just doesn't seem to be a great fit for the open-ended nature of programming questions.
