One of the reasons www.python.org/doc/ was considered less discoverable was the about of only-sometimes-interesting information there; docs.python.org contains only "current" docs (for some vague notion of current and only, given that dev builds and both Python 2 and Python 3 versions). Some claimed that having "docs" at the front of the URL helped, though I don't recall why.

It's anecdotal, but I can tell you that currently I often type 'http://dev.python.org', get a not found, smack my head, and retype the url. I don't have that problem with docs, obviously :)
