In short, stackoverflow promotes *public* questions and answers, not discussions. That makes it easy to see what's answered (or not), i.e. the green checkmark. If that fits your question (i.e. targetted, not too long) then it's an awesome tool to use (and learn from). OTOH if you want to discuss, have varied feedback... about something then a mailing-list is better suited. Since it's open-ended it's very hard to know if all (initial, updated, subsequent) questions were answered. It's common, e.g. when googling, to find interesting, often long, threads leading to no definitive answer. Support is a bit like stackoverflow - but it's (mostly) not public. That limits the number of people that can help you (community) and future googling of questions/answers - but you know for sure that Xamarin is aware of the issue. Bugzilla starts like stackoverflow (one bug instead of one question) then let people discuss it until resolved. Also you always know if this fixed or not (status). Unlike stackoverflow you can discuss things privately (if needed) and you can add large attachements (not just a few lines of code in your question). Quite a few things starting in stackoverflow, mailing-lists or support cases finally ends up in bugzilla. Regards, Sebastien (poupou on stackoverflow)
