I mean, it served Experts Exchange so well. Just look at how popular that site is these days.

Experts Exchange: Alexa Rank 5,634

Stackoverflow: Alexa Rank 52

Both have high-quality answers to numerous topics. One is both free and ahead of the other. Results speak for themselves, eh?

Experts Exchange (or ExpertSexChange - poor URL choice) had their lunch eaten by Stack Overflow. I'd argue the login requirement wasn't as much of a problem as their payment requirement...

Exactly. Free, high-quality stuff vs paid, high-quality stuff. There's a reason BSD, Linux, Apache, and so on powered more of the Internet than good, commercial alternatives. :)
