In the case of Swift, I think it’s mostly just that it’s new (and still developing fast) and quite different from what we’re used to. Apple has done a great job documenting it — I remember being blown away at WWDC last year by how good the Swift books were. In some other areas, like auto-layout, Apple’s made adoption harder than it needs to be by not documenting it well, or by hiding the documentation (in a sub-basement behind a door reading “Beware Of The Leopard”.) The Xcode IDE documentation is wretched, I might even say “insulting”; super-complex things like build settings are given one page with a screenshot and some superficial one-liners about what the buttons do. Similarly-complex GUI tools in other domains like audio or illustration get big tomes of documentation, but the Xcode IDE (I’m not talking about the SDKs!) has basically a pamphlet. —Jens
