Quit being so dense and unreasonable! How is someone supposed to write a basic howto or whatever if there is no information available to make it possible? When an application is first developed, the only people who know what it does in detail and how, are the developers. It should be their responsibility to create the first formal low level documentation and/or the built in help so that others can then create higher level HowTo's for specific activities. Sure, it may be possible for someone with a lot of knowledge about the general application field to muck their way through using trial and error to figure things out, but it would be so much more efficient for a few of the developers to provide some basic information to the hundreds of people trying to do that. A few people saving hundreds or thousands of people extra work that should be unnecessary, isn't that worth the trouble? Some delay in increasing the feature count is well worth having the current features made much more usable, sooner.
