Maybe picking on iproute2 was a bit unfair; I just remembered spending a lot of time trying to decipher the dense synopsis notation way back when. Taking another look, they're definitely better than what nft has

Lately I've felt a bit spoiled by OpenBSD manual pages. If you want to know what good documentation with man pages can look like, you can take a look at some of them. If everything were documented to the same standard I would never need Google...

For example, If I want a quick overview on how OSPF works, I can just "man ospfd" on OpenBSD. The explanation may not strictly speaking have much to do with configuring ospfd itself, but well-placed context "fluff" is a huge quality-of-life improvement as it helps me understand the kinds of problems I can solve with the software.
