That's something I love about JavaScript. Most libraries have great documentation, and the source is usually easy to understand. With C#, I feel the opposite is the case. Documentation either doesn't exist or is very basic, reading the source is quite hard because its common to put code in as much files as possible.

Really? I think a lot of people find the opposite to be true about Javascript, in terms of source. Javascript allows for some fun magic, but that pretty quickly cuts into readability/debugability. Look at Bluebird -- works great, but not just a "I'll jump right in here and understand it" sort of module.

You're definitely right about the C# docs, though. I always feel totally lost looking through those, especially since I'm not much of a C# dev to begin with.
