A very valid point raised by the author. Having worked with multiple api's i can say that developers start preferring that product which has better api docs than the other product which has a crappy doc inspite of having many features.

I was working with PayPal few years back and there are bunch of apis that they provide, but the explanation and usage is so bad that you end up spending a lot of unnecessary time figuring out what to do. And then i came to Stripe integration. They have beautiful apis which can be integrated smoothly and very easily. I tell developers to follow Stripe's api for writing documentation and examples.
