First, I didn't make any judgements or assumptions about your experience when closing your question. In fact, the simple observation that you started with 101 reputation at the site indicates that you had an account on at least one other Stack site.

The purpose of this site, as with nearly every Stack site, is to be a place where users can ask questions to elicit objective expert answers. Your question simply doesn't meet that criteria.

Questions formatted as "What is the best ...", "What is your favorite..." are clear indicators that you're asking a question that is too subjective, and likely not appropriate for the site. You can't even ask a question in this format without being warned by the software itself.
