Sure. But users and developers are different target groups. 

By helping developers we gain:
1. A more attractive platform
2. More contributors
3. More apps
4. ...

Because the questions there are often:

1. Unspecific
2. Without details 
3. Often easily solvable by googling or just reading the documentation 
4. Containing error messages in Chinese (I can’t read Chinese and I don’t want 
to waste my time translating error messages which are likely user errors)

This is why I’m not really active in the forum. There are just way to many 
people there that do not even understand the difference between a mail and a 
web server. Not beginning to speak of people who try to install oC on their 1$ 
“unlimited” webhoster package…

I consider our time better spent with helping potential contributors than 
helping somebody to setup their LAMP installation.
