I've found that some areas of the GCP docs are fantastic and some are appallingly bad. Two examples I dealt with last week that I particularly hated were trying to find a good resource on unit testing parts of a Cloud Dataflow and how examply to access the private key for a service account on Appengine Standard. (The switch from Java 7 to 8 really fucked this up).
There seem to be two versions of a LOT of Google's APIs and it's often not clear which one is the correct one to use.
Another annoying issue is that I'll be looking at the Java documentation on something and will suddenly be told to run some Python commands (which mean installing python and PIP and a bunch of other stuff) just to get some Java thing working.
But, all this aside, I agree it's miles better than the last time I looked at Azure.
