I feel there is almost an oversaturation of stackexchanges now. I often have questions that could fit into a ton of different sub-exchanges, yet when I post it on one I am usually ridiculed into posting it onto another. SO is one of my favorite sites on the internet, but it needs to be clearer as to what sites should be used for what.

I've checked out of keeping track of StackExchange. I'm sure for those that can be bothered keeping track of evolving mechanics, meta-ness, and the Area 51 business, it's rewarding. Me, I only recognise the existence of StackOverflow. Great site.
I partially agree. Some stackexchanges I feel are overkill. Bitcoin doesn't need it's own site and some sites should be merged (Web Applications and Web masters).

However I agree that there should be a CompSci stackexchange for those questions that don't fit in SO or Mathematics.

I agree, I think they have spread themselves too thin.
