This is a great outlook to have. I think I treat StackOverflow a little like a discussion board; though there are times I'd like to ask a question and be able to discuss back and forth, rather than be constrained by the binary question/answer format.
I know the conversations/extended discussion mechanism in SO handles this somewhat, but I always feel like that's hidden in out of the way.
I've never personally been able to get over the hump in finding value in SO other than the Q/A as a resource. I see that as an indication that there's room for a different approach. The last thing we are trying to do is challenge that platform head-on for Q/A, but there is so much more developers need and trying to squeeze it into Stack Overflow's general mantra has seemed a bit square peg/round hole to me.
