I agree with you only 100% + 1. Also note that UPBE is not promoted even though its the most begineer friendly documentation we have, instead you have to navigate through the links to get there.
AFAIK the documentation page could use some love, promoting our main Book, UPBE, Pharo for the Enterprise , Deep Into Pharo. Those 3 are essential reading for anyone coming to pharo and they are in a pretty good state , though WIP. I have to say that I never liked Pharo docs because it shows how few classes contain comments and it definitely does not look good for someone looking to enter pharo.
