It doesn't allow broad questions, only nuts and bolts questions. As in: is my approach to building this the best approach? I could really do with a site that lets me ask that kind of question.

For many broad questions, when you google them one of the top results is an old Stack Exchange post that wouldn't be allowed today.

It's a shame, because these answers are usually more thorough, objective, and helpful than anything else that comes up in the search.

Yes, a fair comparison and contrast to help choose between two libraries or frameworks is extremely helpful, but those are pretty much not allowed.
