Well, good docs certainly help, but the basic complexity is still there.
Until the system itself is simplified, I'm afraid that writing docs is
rather a band-aid solution.
I don't expect the system to actually be simplified, that would involve
breaking some traditions, and people generally refuse to do that -
occasionally with good reason, but more often out of habit.
