The two are not mutually exclusive. Rather, I'd think they're directly proportional. A very straightforward and simple yet popular language should have very few questions, which doesn't seem to be the case; conversely, brainfuck is particularly cryptic and should have many questions, yet it does not.
StackOverflow is admittedly .NET heavy, but since SV is somewhat anti-Microsoft, perhaps this will balance things out.
