What should our take be on software recommendation questions?
Questions that specifically seek software recommendations (as opposed to asking how to accomplish a specified task) come with their own challenges that are to some extent different from those of other questions. The [scope](/help/faq) of the site, as it stands, is: > Power Users is a community where computer enthusiasts (power users) ask and answer questions about software and hardware usage. You can ask questions about using software applications (browsers, office suites, editors, etc), command-line interfaces, operating systems and settings, computer hardware, home networking, and so on. While computers are in lots of things these days, this community is more focused on things that are primarily \*computers\* than, say, your WiFi-connected refrigerator. Note that this repeatedly makes reference to software and hardware *usage*, but doesn't talk about *recommendations*. What is the community's take on how *software recommendation* questions, specifically, should be handled?
