I've skimmed the PEAK documentation, and all I find is bullet-point feature lists and endless lists of configuration options. It's like reading Microsoft documentation.

And I've read your email about the documentation, and all I find is hyperbole, whining, and a total absence of any specific criticism that could be used to improve the documentation. It's like reading an effbot rant. :)

Perhaps you would care to at least share which piece of documentation you are referring to, perhaps by URL, since your description does not sound like any of the three setuptools-related manuals to me. (Unless of course you didn't bother to scroll past the table of contents or to click on any of those underlined "bullet points" in the tables of contents to go to the sections offering an explanation of the features in question.)
