I was not trying to convince somebody about RSS tools, I just tried to sort Derrell's question in the "client tools" bucket, rather the "server features" bucket :). > Why should we change ?

Change is always inconvenient, and old habbits are hard to break (especially as they get older ;). But sometimes change can also be a good thing. Take a fresh look at SO, and keep in mind that as qooxdoo's user base grows, new people with less habits get on board. The question how to make qooxdoo more popular has been raised on the ML a couple of times. Good and accessible(!) Q&A support is one factor, IMO. At the end, of course, it hinges all on adoption, and the technology areas on SO reflect that. C# is incredible with 56,000+ questions, a huge knowledge base. But even Javascript and Python, which are both among the first top 10 areas (22,000+ and 15,000+ questions) have tremendous support there (I frequently use the Python tag, and have found information there within few days and weeks which otherwise would have taken me weeks and months to gather). jquery is even before Python (16,000+). But even smaller knowledge bases often excel in their quality.
