I think that has a lot to do with the IDE as well. When I'm using Visual Studio, I autocomplete and peek until I find something that even remotely does what I need in the library and move on. I come back and optimize when I see smoke coming out of the CPU or my project manager :) (Of course I'm responsible with my code and this is an exaggeration but could this be called "too mature optimization"? :) )

I'm guilty of this, matter of fact I'm sure a good number of us (developers) are. Though lately I find myself looking up documentation aside so I can read through examples and find more information. Some languages / libraries are better documented than others, and sometimes Stack Overflow fills a niche. I noticed one library that was not afraid to document things recorded on Stack Overflow that they made into official documentation and made a reference back to Stack Overflow which I thought was perfect since you get the context behind that documentation, as well as it solved a real problem.
