Documentation of major products has definitely improved. As has tooling for producing and consuming it.

When open source was getting rolling in the 90s I don't remember it being nearly so polished.

Ha. Although you have to admit even modern MS documentation is loads better than it was historically.

And at least there's some kind of acknowledged API now (even if the first class languages shift with the slightest breeze).
