My personal opinion is that without (accurate) documentation no computer program or system is very useful. I just switched my desktop from BSD/OS to FreeBSD, and I'm finding all kinds of things on FreeBSD being either inaccurately or incompletely documented. I don't recall any specific instance where the documentation was absolutely incorrect, which is a good thing. There also seems to be some decay in the software. For example, I wanted to try and build a PicoBSD floppy from a -stable snapshot. It doesn't work. I'll eventually figure out why, but it is annoying.
