It's par for the course with MS tech docs IMHO, well at least the bulk of their dev documentation. I even marvelled at the MSDN docs for the same reasons some 15 years ago as a freshman. I was relieved to see the same spirit in the "extensibility" articles at http://code.visualstudio.com/docs/ http://code.visualstudio.com/docs/ (compared to the huge furball of distributed-across-blogs-and-forums, incomplete, or dated equivalent for say Sublime..).
Now. OS-wise and userland-wise I'm certainly no MS fan (and tend to stay as clear as is feasible), but as far as the entire developer ecosystem goes (except maybe SharePoint-related, that was quite the mess a few years back, dunno about today tho), it has been for ages and continues to be: near-on utopia!
- eduren 10y ago>except maybe SharePoint-related, that was quite the mess a few years back, dunno about today tho Ah, glad you mentioned that. I was about to say that Sharepoint (especially 2005-2010) felt woefully under documented when I worked with it. I think Sharepoint dev has gotten better since 2013 (the introduction of their app model), but I left that role before the company upgraded so I can't say for certain.
