How about your front end Web stack? I've read a lot about the Stack Exhchange backend, but not much about the front end. How quickly does development move on the front end? How do you test the front end? How subjectively maintainable does it seem to be? Any pressure or temptation to use one of the hip JS frameworks (if you're not already)?

Not the guy but their front end looks pleasantly simple and framework less. They use jquery. You can do view source and read the thing pretty much unlike say Facebook. They apparently have written their own websocket system to update the stuff at the top http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/168145/sockets-used-...
