Another thing that contributes to the mess of AWS UI is their docs. Probably a personal preference thing, but I don't like their cluttered UI for their docs either. Maybe if they had some developer advocates or pay websites/blogs to post about how to use all 300+ services of AWS (probably an exaggeration... but looking at their dropdown probably not) then it would be better for developers or even companies to come onboard a bit easier.

Actually I really like the AWS documentation, even more since they launched their public knowledge center [1], which offers answers for common use cases.

And AWS does have of course evangelists blogging about a lot of stuff. You should check out their blogs overview page [2] which lists 29 new posts since the beginning of October alone!

Amazon stuffs SEO with subpar docs, Google's are far superior. Just about every page has both CLI and web walk throughs. Many have SDK examples for multiple languages too
