Stack Overflow is worse because the questioners are approaching it in the vulnerable state of "not knowing". This makes the smack-downs worse, because the user already had a problem, and now they have haters as well.
Maybe worse for you. My experience certainly contradicts your claim. And I suspect that your claim is anecdotal as is mine. The difference is I am only speaking about my experience where you are attempting to make a sweeping judgement based on your experience.
