Our search page on keycloak.org does a good enough targeted search.

Often slow render times, can't browse/respond offline, don't want to 
have to work through a browser for everything, prefer unified view of 
all my notifications in one place (my email client).  I prefer less UIs 
I have to work with on a daily basis, not more.  I will forget to go to 
SO if I don't turn on notifications.  It will annoy the hell out of me 
to switch contexts between email and SO if I do turn on notifications.  
Prefer a simple text interface.  I don't want to see advertisements.  I 
don't want to get notified about jobs.  I don't want recruiters calling 
me if they data mine me on SO.  Is that enough?

I'm serious.  I will never ever answer any questions on SO.  I stopped 
answering questions when JBoss moved from a user mail list to forums, I 
will do the same if it happens for Keycloak.
