Somehow they managed to become one of the most important websites for software developers despite neglecting every product feature you miss.

They have never made a dollar of profit in their 15 years of operation and just sold themselves to a private equity firm for pennies. "Most important website for software developers" doesn't really mean anything unless one can also be a sustainable company in the process.

Was it because of "neglecting every other product feature that end users actually want"?

Failure to monetize is usually the exact opposite of failure to please users.
