That is why source code is important - it usually contains a lot of examples implicitly

I feel RobustNess and good documentation is key for evry good project or software.. i have seen many robust project are poor on design.. but still very famouse with people, ( i don't wanna give name to them!)

Definitely robust and good design.
I believe that good design requires (only) adequate documentation. While poor design requires (very) good documentation.
Also, nice to have good price, support, and flexibility!

Agreed! I've been trying to think of a good way to say that since the poll came out.
With my favorite libraries, i've spent very little time reading the docs. My least favorite libs, i spend an awful lot of time pouring over the source. ...and then, there are the ones without source, where i spend the evening hours tracing through disassembly and cursing the idiots that wrote it.
