Well if everything were perfect we wouldn't need a list, right :-)
However I broadly agree about the documentation. Even the online help is
less useful than it should be since you can't search it except in the
fairly useless sense of "within the current page", and as it's organized
on the lines of a tutorial rather than a reference guide I find it
needlessly frustrating to try and find specific information in it.
A true reference is badly needed.
