The question is off-topic, but as you can see it was still answered. Still, to solve that problem, a new site was opened per request of users: Software Recommendations Stack Exchange




The problem with the new site is that it boasts a tiny fraction of the SO user count. It's just harder to get good answers on a site with so few active users. The same is true for programmers.stackexchange, where code review type questions end up.


Heh, looks like that was reopened in the last hour.
