Document it all you want. But don't expect Joe Toothbrush to read it
all. If one _wants_ go through pages upon pages of docs to create
something new, that's great and the more the merrier. But if one
_must_ go through the docs to use the product, then by virtue or
Occam's razor the OS with the least documentation is the easiest to
use.

I view a manual transmission as _letting_me_ shift the gears. The wife
views it as _making_her_ shift the gears. Which is preferable for
those who love to drive, and which is preferable for thsoe who want to
get from point A to point B?
