Some comments: I agree that the quality of documentation of both the compiler and the libraries should be improved. But who is 'responsible'? I would think in the first place the programmers. But it is very difficult (certainly in a non commercial enviroment like we are working here) to command people to write proper documentation, not to speak about the differences in insight about what is required, desired, style, etc. In that respect our Jallib Style Guide is already pretty good and respected! I have done several PIC projects with a (C) compiler without any libraries. That was very time consuming, required lot of datasheet reading, but was also very educational for understanding PICs! The libraries are meant to and will reduce development time, they hide the 'small letters' in the datasheets and the numerous differences between PICs. I'm convinced this will help development significantly, but indeed you must be properly informed how to use these libraries. Being 'experienced' (in any craft) can be a handicap! Everybody has some natural resistance to (forced) changes in the way he used to work, certainly when you took a sabbatical pause. But refusing to adept to progress(!) will make your handicap only bigger and the migration of older projects more difficult. So keep studying!
