I think general discoverability is a driving force. A beginner has a 
problem, goes to google, types in their problem, and sees some links to 
the documentation and stackoverflow first (typically). And that's where 
they are.

SO also ranks responses to a question, which the list doesn't do. There 
are lots of things that I think SO is better suited for than mailing 
lists --- but of course I also think there are lots of things the list 
is better suited for than fora like SO.
