Why most Open Source projects are so poory documented, even when it comes to code.
If they were decent programmers they wouldn't work for free, would they?

because people who say things like "poory" and capitalize 'open source' like its a proper noun.

They're just doing it for publicity and to stroke their egos. They have no intention of making their code accessible.

Want to look at the 2000+ pages of official emacs documentation?
Why are most projects so poorly documented*
You just have the freedom to review any FOSS project you like.

Closed source projects are worse.
>>54623796
good code does not need documentation. documentation is a liability because it's duplication and good programs avoid duplication.

Open source projects are not developed as products, thus there is little to no incentive to nicely document stuff.
>>54623796
Open source by people who are paid to do to make things tend to be a bit better. Otherwise it's made by programmers in their spare time and they want to code, not write docs or instructions or diagrams, and sometimes don't even care about UX/UI design
Lots of nice things are FOSS, though.
