I think you're missing the point. It's not just for "programmers". It's for everyone on the web -- marketers, bloggers, designers, devs, entrepreneurs, businesses etc. Sure Linkedin may be a great platform, but that is more like a rolodex of contacts -- whereas eBackers is a dedicated place to simply post help requests. Kickstarter is a distant competitor and I don't believe the two can be compared really as that is all about funding.
I understand where you're coming from, and I accept your opinion 100%. Just giving you my take on it.
