Often people complaining about Technology X simply haven't read the docs. They're not always written, not always easy to find, and not always complete, but whatever is there, is there for a reason: it's something the developer thought you ought to know.
Being the one person who read the docs is the difference between being considered just another tech worker, and the "genius" people rely on for answers. It makes you invaluable, boosts your career, and leads to better outcomes.

I'm a compulsive doc reader (I even read the "user manuals" that come with toasters and such), and sometimes my friends tease me about it. But I'm also the guy who knows the "magic incantations" and "secret features" that everyone thinks is an exceptional ability. But the "exceptional ability" is nothing more than reading.
