For PHP it's missing the comments at the bottom, which are often essential to understand certain strange behaviours.
I almost always end up scrolling straight to that section in the PHP docs when looking for help. Such is PHP.
I've used this off and on for a while, but the hardest thing for me is breaking the google habbit (or ddg as often as not in my case) and actually performing the search on that site. I can !dd with duckduckgo to get to devdocs, but I wish there was some natural language processing that knew I wanted to look up a cpp/rust what have you term and send me there. Additionally, C# doesn't seem to be included, which is a bi…
Go to search bar -> type in 'devdocs' -> hit tab ("Search DevDocs"). You can then search directly.
It's pretty awesome.

It's such a fantastic resource. * It links to the real documentation * world class search * lets you pick and choose versions and languages/frameworks you want to have searchable * provides a consistent UI across all docs which is fantastic when you are switching between several while developing. * Is updated with terrifying frequency (I don't think I've ever opened it and NOT had…
This looks awesome - is there a way to get an offline version of this?
DevDocs works offline — http://devdocs.io/offline — on mobile, and can be installed on Chrome. There is an Electron app here — https://github.com/egoist/devdocs-desktop
And is it indexing all popular tools into one place and providing a search box?
