I completely agree. Regarding discussions.apple.com, I had a laugh a couple of years ago when they took it down for a few days and when it came up all previous URLs were a 404. Wow.

Here's the other kicker about Apple documentation: it absolutely sucks. There are exceptions to this, but in general, it is incomplete and completely lacks examples. The man pages for a ton of stuff are just horrible.

It shows that Apple doesn't really care much about developers.
