It's slightly better than the Windows support forum only because it doesn't hijack your browser navigation, and because most answers don't start with "Hello $name, I am Doug America, a fellow user like yourself! I am happy to assist your question."
Actually it's also slightly improved from the earlier days, where nearly every thread was 1) works for me, it must be your fault, 2) why do you even want to do that? 3) that's not a bug, that's working as designed, 4) you think you know better than Apple how your computer should work? 5) oh, so you just hate Apple software? You're a Micro$oft fanboy? 6) you didn't even run EtreCheck, and you're asking why you keep getting Kernel panics? Why are you even posting here? Etc.
Now, occasionally, when it shows up in my search results, there are answers rather than just berating OP. (Kinda like StackOverflow, at some point they must have realized that you can't just cede control of your forum to the most pedantic users on there)
