Your use of the word "Afraid" in the title is a bit condasending and is inviting an argument.

I fall on the side of getting rid of them, for multiple reasons:

1. They're a gateway drug to "Favourite [x]" questions
2. They're not a technical question that needs answering
3. There's no "right" answer (and CW is not a free pass for this)
4. Ultimately they're just noise
5. When there's already 258 answers, any new posts are never going to be read, they just bump the question to the top of the page
6. Go to 5

My rule of thumb is, if my client came up to me and asked me what I was spending their money on, would I get in trouble? If I was billing $150/hour for "Discussing the hidden features of [X]" I expect they wouldn't be happy. But if I was billing $150/hour for solving "How do I avoid recursion with [X]" they wouldn't mind. One is productive. One isn't.

(This is also why I don't think sites like gaming should make it to a fully fledged Stack Exchange site, but that's just me)
