I think the gnome project deserves a mention here, their docs program is really complete, and covers many high level aspects of how to use the software. Most gnome apps also use it

That may have been true at one point, but post Gnome 2 exodus, a surface look will look like its good, but any deeper look will show its outdated.

Its also not very maintainable/supportable, and while that is changing slowly, they've written themselves into a corner in some respects.
