> I think you were uncivil before I was Please try to avoid being personal. You don't know who contributed what or when and it's not even useful to think who to "blame" when you are looking at something created by volunteers in whatever limited time they have available. I personally started working on sympy in a significant way around 2 years ago. At that point sympy and its documentation were mostly in a similar state to the way they are now. In the time since I have tried to improve things and the same goes for all of the contributors who have worked on sympy.
I agree that the documentation can be improved. Significant improvements are planned and progress is being made but in some ways it is still early days. After David pointed out that the assumptions documentation is misleading I've been thinking about rewriting it. I don't have time to do it immediately but I am probably best placed to improve that particular part of the documentation so I will try to find time at some point. Note though that David pointed that out without any judgement or personal attacks. It was a very helpful reminder of what needs to be done and given in a friendly way.
