I've been in favor of allowing questions that are more subjective (open-ended, discussion-y...) since 2009 (!) I'd love to see more questions like How should an IT department choose a standard Linux distribution? I think that SF would be better if we had some more broad questions like this, but they'd have to be held to a very high standard to keep them from becoming "I like xxx because the colour scheme is pretty!"

Do you agree with MDMarra's linked assessment here, and do you think that anything can or should be done about it? If so, what?

I think that implementing some of the ideas here will help: if we can come up with some standardized, constructive comments to explain why questions are closed, maybe* we can get away from comments that are seen as mean, while still quickly shutting the door on bad questions.
