Community rated answers
Unlike a number of other Q&A sites where the person asking the question picks the winning answer, Slant accepts that they're asking because they don't know the answer, so they allow everyone in the community to pitch in by upvoting the best answer.

Primarily for comparing products
Slant is a great website for comparing products to each other, but if your question isn't about products, the limits of Slant's format start to show more clearly.

Pros and cons vs users' answers
Most Q&A sites give each user the chance to give an answer (sometimes multiple answers). A lot of the content of each user's answers will overlap, resulting in duplication of information (thus more to read), or information being lost in noise (e.g. if someone sees existing answers and adds a missing point without copying existing information, their point will likely languish at the bottom of the list of answers as it did not answer the majority of the question). Slant approaches this differently; rather than focusing on the users, it focuses on the points; Pros and Cons. Any user may amend the information in a pro/con, may vote based on how much that pro/con influenced their decision, and may add their own pros and cons if certain points are missing from the canon.

Con
Fake and dated ratings
Some ratings seem fake and many of the top lists seem very outdated listing products years and years old when there are better modern alternatives. Probably paid rankings.

Pro
See all answers clearly
An enumeration of recommendations is easily viewed as a list, making it a good starting point for researching available options. This is the opposite of other sites in which multiple choices may be listed within a single answer, with the need for the user to read through paragraphs of information to pick out the key articles.

Designed for subjective questions
Slant.co's reason for being is to answer subjective questions. It was born with the knowledge that other sites existed to handle objective questions and answers, but they made no attempt to handle the intricacies of subjective answers. Slant.co is the only site focused on solving this specific area.

Needs improvements to avoid redundancy
Many questions can lead to the same app. Example: https://www.slant.co/topics/4648/~es-file-explorer-alternatives-for-android https://www.slant.co/topics/1956/~file-explorers-on-android. If you comment something on "Total Commander", you have to do this in more than one place. According to this the Slant team is working on this issue.

Pro
Multiple chosen answers
Subjective questions may have more than one answer. Slant allows people to vote for more than one answer as being correct, and to append the pros and cons which influenced their decision to their vote; thus giving a context of in which situations each answer may be considered correct.

Maturity

Subject matter: programming tools, services, & technology
The site is currently dedicated to questions within the technology area. It is implied that as popularity grows it may open up to questions in other subject areas (ref: use of "Starting with..." on their Twitter profile).

Allows Google independent rating for Android apps
It can be difficult to get user-ratings for Android apps that are not available on the Google Play Store. So far other sites either indirectly use Google Play Store rankings or some technical writer tells you "which are the best XXX apps for YYY".

Unbiased information you can trust
Slant isn't financially tied to any products listed on it. All the categories (organized into 'questions'), products (organized as 'options'), and pros/cons are added, and edited by real users - there is no way for a company to pay to have a favorable review (and if they try to do it themselves, the community can report (flag) or edit any false claims).

Subjective claims have to be backed up with evidence
Each subjective statement needs to be backed up with objective information. An opinion has to be backed up with facts. An evidence for a claim on Slant can be provided with examples, sources, and facts.

"For hire" posts get a lot of attention
Where many of the current remote job boards are specifically for employees looking to apply to positions, reddit is a good place to post "for hire" ads and allow the employers to contact you.

Popularity / maturity
The Stack Exchange sites have a large user base. Due to this being broken down to sub-sites per topic however some of their sites have more users than others, so depending on the subject matter of the question this pro may not apply.

Subject Matter: Various (site specific)
Whilst sites under the Stack Exchange banner are focussed on specific topics, there are a wide variety of such sites. As such Stack Exchange could be described as being open to questions on any subject matter, but has the advantage that within its sub-sites, questions are targeted to the specific users/audiences of those sites.

Popularity contest feeling
The reward system feels like you're in a popularity contest. While this encourages good answers, it feels like everything is built around the reward system. So much that, you need to have certain points to unlock features on the site.

User ratings by topic
Users are scored based on their contributions, with the context of those contributions also being scored (i.e. answering a question tagged as being about XML increases that user's XML score). This results in allowing the questioner to gauge a rough idea of the answerer's relative knowledge within a domain when considering their answers vs contradictory answers from other users.
