I recall when first learning unix. The man pages were quite intimidating. The formatting and organization was difficult to get at first. Everywhere I turned when trying to figure something out there was yet another learning curve to hurdle--the cognitive load of all the pieces combined is quite large. Any tool that helps lower the learning curve at any point is beneficial imo. It may be less useful to seasoned veterans, but for noobs it can be a tremendous aid to help them learn quicker and get to a point where they can be productive and solve their problems that much sooner. That would mean more people capable of contributing.
