Manuals
I just have to say about manuals that not everything has to be intuitive, in fact I believe most things should NOT be intuitive.
Being intuitive to me means being inefficient and feature starved. You know why the iPhone is gradually getting features that have been on Android for a long time? It's because they didn't want a manual, so everything has to dribble in so you're not learning very much at a time.
I am in the process of changing my word processing over to vim. It is not intuitive, it does have a manual and yes it is helpful to have it's video tutorials. You know what? After learning how to navigate a document and shortcuts for HTML coding I am already twice as fast as I was, and I'm only just beginning.
