If you can't be bothered to deeply study and understand your tools then you probably don't deserve to use them anyway.

Yeah totally. And if you can't be bothered to read your car's owner's manual from cover to cover you probably don't deserve to be driving it anyway.
Actually, you should probably read the Chilton (or equivalent) manual cover to cover.
A lack of curiosity is indeed reproachable. And while I do consider knowing how a car works basic common knowledge, I wouldn't advise someone that doesn't have that to start with the manual.

I hadn't even gotten past the evaluation stage. Bad documentation is a huge smell for the rest of the framework—I'm not going to waste my time pursuing a tool that I'm not going to use.

duaneb doesn't have much time to learn one particular framework, so you think he doesn't deserve any tools?

Wha?

This isn't the context of people using Angular the hammer, it's in the context of people trying to learn Angular, the forklift, and all of the forklift users saying "It's not our fault you can't figure it out!"
