I miss good `man` pages.

  Me, too. What error codes does the program return? How about some non-trivial examples of use? And does the man page actually document the software? All the switches, all the enumerated options and data range limits for each option? In OpenBSD: all that is there. A documentation bug is a bug. In Linux: "best wishes, and perhaps you'd like to write the man page for this utility you use once every two years?" Disclosure: I use linux (through sheer inertia). I started on FreeBSD though, and got used to having adequate documentation.

    The worst thing you can see in a Linux manpage: "For complete explanations, see the info(5) documentation"
