Oh yea, absolutely. I've become weary of trying new Microsoft stuff. One example I had recently is with their Bot framework. They came out with a shiny new template earlier this year, they called it the Enterprise Bot Template. Since we were gonna build a bot, we decided to use this, because it was a nice template with all the best practices and lots of features included. Now that we are finished with the bot, I tried to look up the documentation that explains how to deploy it. Guess what? Documentation is _deleted_. Completely gone. Turns out they have already discontinued the template and have yet _another_ template in place, that's only been around for a few months. Of course many things are/work differently, so migrating is a pain. And there is no good migration guide. They basically just say "create a new project with the new template and make all your code changes there". It's infuriating... At least keep the old documentation only, don't just delete it.
