+100 to this. I’ve become a cheerleader for some projects just because the documentation was so good that it was easy to get started. It’s how I became a ZFS zealot among other things.

OT: where do you find the good ZFS documentation? Googling always seems to turn up Oracle's documentation, which may not match what's in FreeBSD or ZFS-on-Linux

The zfs man pages (at least on FreeBSD) are actually pretty decent for finding command usage. The FreeBSD handbook[1] covers some typical usages.

To be fair -- the docs for ZFS via the manpage are great but I found a lot of help also from forums of likeminded folks -- ServeTheHome (https://servethehome.com) is where I got hooked.

And then there are countless GitHub projects where the README.md file, which is usually first thing I read, that is super well documented and written for the noob (imo). The best example of that so far, especially for someone like me just getting started with the framework, is the gin Golang http framework: (https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin) -- that readme is full of useful examples.
