Given that I've just spent a very unhappy couple of weeks demonstrating 
that this "toy" you're referring to outperforms us by a factor of 
anything from 3 to 10 on a range of basic benchmarks, and has hundreds 
of developer-oriented books on the shelves in every major bookstore in 
the developed world, I think your position is perhaps slightly less 
than tenable here.

But Mark illustrates my point perfectly; developers don't write 
documentation.  That's what camp followers are for.  So far, we have 
the ones that whine about the loot and throw mud at us when we march 
too slowly, but not enough of the ones that sew our banners, mend our 
pots and pans, or teach our version of the gospel to the heathens we 
subdue.
