Having a proper API would have been great. Having community-driven moderation would have been great. Having decent feed support, or at least a way for people to generate their own feed from the mythical API, would have been great.

Yeah, I feel bad for them, but these are persistent issues I constantly ran into as a user of the site. And the nature of most of their bugs, as well as their response to those bugs being reported, left me with no confidence in their technical abilities.
