One of the most poor documentation i've ever seen is: sailsjs docs.

I really enjoy your post and it's really what i think about a documentation.The example/Guide is for me the part that the project doc team might focus on.
It must be like Explain like i'm five tag here

Also the "Sometimes people leave out explaining where the project might not be the best fit, but it is very useful and appreciated by users." Is a really good idea

I agree the examples should be explained very simply. There's always going to be somebody that finds a detailed explanation helpful, even if other people skip over it.
