Honestly I'd much prefer to see more "comparison" type sites/pages.

Saying "use X for config management" does nothing but create a culture of followers who have no real idea why they do what they do.

Instead, pick a topic and try learning about the pros and cons of the available tools/solutions, and then consider the implications of using it for your environment (or for different types of environments if you do client work for example, and then experiment with it.

Definitely. What I was looking for was a quick way to see what tools are trending in given niches. Stackshare achieves that.

The awesome lists project is interesting as well, but it lacks some sort of ordering.
