TL;DR: "It really depends on the question."

## GENERAL CASE: *List Questions Suck*
List questions off the form "What X do you use for Y?", "What products exist that do Z?", and the like are crap questions.  They can almost always be answered better by Google, and Google will do a better job keeping its answer up to date than we could ever hope to.

## Possible Exceptions
1. **Checklist Questions**  
A good checklist / Best Practices question that can be used by others to develop their own checklists can be a Good Thing.  If nothing else it provides a canonical destination for newbies so we don't have to keep closing the same thing over and over as "not constructive" and leaving pointer comments.  
(The key here is we're ***NOT*** aiming to provide a comprehensive, permanent answer: Just a list of considerations that *won't change* as a base for someone to make up their own list that *will* evolve over time.)
