Ask HN: What has happened to the quality of docs.microsoft.com?

This isn't meant to be a clickbaity question but I'm finding more and more that docs.microsoft.com is, well to put it mildly, garbage!

This is for .NET, I have no idea what it's like for C++ or anything.

When I search for anything, or highlight something in VS and press F1 the docs don't tell me anything more than intellisense does! The links on the page to methods and properties are exactly the same.

I seem to remember MSDN having way more examples that I could use: now it's just the absolute bare minimum. In fact, it's just XML docs from what I can see.

Is it just me?
