Quick suggestion: Instead of better documentation, I suggest you remove less-used elements from the main screen and put more emphasis on the important ones. For such an important feature (add a node), it should be trivially easy to see how to do it.

Also, it could be great to have a project open by default when you first open the application.. instead of the: file new project.

Oh, and everyone can down me, I don't care, I use a smurf account. Constructive critism = down vote, while saying wow good job, is +5 karma. So, I have 2 accounts: one to say wow, and one to say real important critismes.

Guess what, one is always around 0 karma while the other is high ranked.. what a shame :)

My guess is that your tone grated. This may help:

Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorifics and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together. Often the very young, the untraveled, the naive, the unsophisticated deplore these formalities as “empty,” “meaningless,” or “dishonest,” and scorn to use them. No matter how “pure” their motives, they thereby throw sand into machinery that does not work too well at best.

I don't think your tone is bad at all, like ableal thinks. I also think the same way as you, I've almost given up on commenting here.
