With a bit more searching I found:

I'll disagree. Nothing is better than Mathworks documentation. I like
documentation by example.

Python gives you the dry, technically correct verbiage behind how
something works.

Matlab says: "Here, copy paste this and it'll work".

To the point that the workspace is designed to automatically strip >>>
from any copy and pasted commands.

Even with most Python examples you can't just copy and paste a chunk
of an example from the web or documentation because you need to clean
off >>> first.

It did me good, to read the resulting discussion on reddit.
