Hi,

I would like to argue that questions like "[Hidden features of python][1]" or other "Best software for the <whatever> environment", "Best unknown features of <whatever> software", "Must-have Ubuntu packages" etc. shouldn't be closed.

These questions provide a valuable source of information in many fields. They allow a broad perspective on a subject, and the collection of answers usually provide a comprehensive "expansion kit" on a certain subject. The popularity of these questions servers as an excellent proof to their necessity.

Frankly, I'm starting to get a lit of wikipedia sense in this community - where the editors, or moderators, strictly close questions or articles which do not comply with somewhat unnecessary rules.

Would we be able to ease the strains a bit? For example, have a question closed for non-abuse cause after a vote?

Looking forward for responses,

Udi
