IIRC the discussion you've in mind, it was questioning the usefulness of
man pages specifically for GUI applications. IIRC, nobody did question
the usefulness of manpages for CLI applications. So, as long as you
stick with those, you'll be fine. For GUI applications, check with the
maintainer first (publicly, as already mentioned by Serafeim).
Cheers.
