I had a similar question. Basically the manual shows what is possible, but lacks to explain the why's behind it. I agree with Christan and think the manual would benefit from some more explanations of the theories behind the approaches taken.
Another thing that I find missing from the manual is a sort of 'gentle' introduction into the world of database abstractions. A bit more info on the ActiveRecord approach etc would in my opinion make the manual easier to get into for those never having used this. Maybe an example with a diagram (visually) and completely creating this with Doctrine would be helpful? A sort of introduction tutorial into Doctrine showing beginners the possibilities and explaining the best practices? ps: Comparing the older version of Doctrine and the newer version shows a lot of hard work has already been put into making it better. Thanks to all people working on this!
