I think it's been helpful for suggestions/requests made to the Rstudio staff (such as R & Python together in RStudio) and it is also turning out to be a really cool place to ask for general guidance (like on the first line of an R script). I personally think it works great for these things (I recently wondered aloud if anyone was planning a Shiny book, for example). As for coding problems, reprexes on SO is a better idea. This site seems great for general RStudio-related chat, if I could put it like that, more friendly and relaxed than SO, and more directed towards mildly wandering discussions (all the better!).
