I like to think of it as a framework. Building blocks to build what you ultimately need.
If your after the one stop shop, plug in play, no development necessary then perhaps some other commercial systems may be your best bet. Mailing list is very active, most people get responses fairly quickly. If the question is ignored its often because it's already answered. To really understand nutch you need to understand lucene, hadoop and search in general and the wiki of both lucene and nutch is a great read. If all of this is above ones head or not within your time frame to bother with then like i said, there are other products out there. Other then that i'm happily running nutch, looking forward to a billion+ page index and enjoying picking the brains of the talent pool we have here.
