I agree...

But for me, I believe the visual aspect doesnt prime on ease to use when you are a technician or a developper in need of help o solution, its more how easy it is to find what you are looking for and how fast you find the good information, here I think we are superior to other forums, as our mods wont let pass things non relevant, either help in correcting the code proposed, or after suggest a better alternative and more, tag as solved and later close the thread so it does not go on and on and deviates from its original topic. Finding the good information here is far the fastest if not the case then the other forums show up, for me that is more due to how the originator titled his thread and how relevant it is with in fact the true thread subject, and here I see perhaps a possible amelioration, we mods should think if the title is relevant with the subject/issue... and if not quite or ambiguous should change the title and not just correct typos... I do it sometimes but only when totally OT or weird as not sure it the owner will find himself with the new title... ouch late for work...
All the best
