Actually, the Java documentation is fantastic, largely because of the way it uses frames. It's quite widely commended as one of the best things Java has introduced and the concept has been copied by many other implementations - including Ruby on Rails (http://api.rubyonrails.org/ ). By contrast, MSDN documentation is a really horrific experience and I've always wished they'd just move to frames. The key point here is really to avoid basing these decisions on personal preference because clearly in this case reasonable people can and do disagree about that preference.
