| Apr 20, 2013 at 20:36 | comment | added | Nir Alfasi | @MichaelHampton I would treat it as any other question: meaning, if it's REALLY not constructive (just argumentative) - close it, but if it has any kind of added value to the community (like in the case I described above) - leave it open. If someone states that he likes emacs/vim more because of this and that features - that's great, cause there may be users that are not aware of these features. | |
| Apr 20, 2013 at 20:17 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | @alfasin OK, so how do you solve the "vi vs. emacs" problem, which tends to make such questions and answers non-constructive? | |
| Apr 20, 2013 at 20:11 | comment | added | Nir Alfasi | @MichaelHampton I know how to use Google LOL :) what I'm saying is, that I have more trust towards recommendations made here in SO not only because I like SO, but also because chances are higher that members here will post an answer such as: I like to use X to do Y because it supports the following list of features: 1,2,3... And that is, to me, very helpful as well as constructive. And, TMHO, it is also relevant to the programming world - which is what this website is all about, isn't it ? | |
| Apr 20, 2013 at 20:05 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | @alfasin If the question is: "I need an X that does Y" then you hit up "List of X" or "Comparison of X" and look at the features list(s). For instance: "I need a text editor that automatically indents my code" will lead you to Comparison of text editors with whether each editor supports the feature. | |
| Apr 20, 2013 at 19:10 | comment | added | Nir Alfasi | @MichaelHampton in order to go to wiki - you need to know what you're looking for. What if you're looking for a tool that has a specific functionality - but you have no idea about its name ? | |
