And, I have to ask myself how awesome is it really if the documentation is nonexistant, boils down to a couple of READMEs or HOWTOs, or just plain sucks. Awesome products start with (often just as awesome) documentation.

Some of your heroes would tell you, perhaps self-indulgently, if 
anything, that code is documentation. Never underestimate the power of 
power.
