Microsoft's documentation for Microsoft's own technologies (as in, the C# libraries they provide) is terrible. What's the competitive advantage there?

That is not true in my experience, Windows API is superbly documented and C# docs are of far higher quality than Java's

The C# documentation was, at least in its initial years, very good. It even had working examples that demonstrated functions. Compare that to typical javadoc of its time.

  • MS documentation used to be amazing back when I programmed for Windows. It was one of the hardest parts of moving to Java for me.
