You have to give them credit where it's due: Cisco is very good about
providing all kinds of docs compared to, for example, Brocade. I could
never imagine buying a Brocade product if I have to pay to read a
manual. I'm really big on researching things myself.

Cisco is not good at other things like disclosing the true capabilities
of QoS on the 3560/3750 switches (as a downgrade from the 3550) and buffers.
