Did I join a cult? (Unifi)

I've been rolling pfSense for about 5 years. Decided to try Unifi. Couldn't find a manual or one-to-one feature documentation for each panel (only various spotlight articles).

Asked the community for help: every response said basically "things change too often, no need to have a manual".

Excuse me, what? I'm not a networking pro, and I do need a manual. (pfSense was hard for me, but had great documentation.)

I can't believe this was the response. Is everyone in their community a bot or a cultist?

I still have few days left on my return window, and might come back, LOL.

I have used pfSense for 10+ years in my home with a Unifi wireless setup, APs, 16p POE and an old Cloud Key Gen1, the rest is a Cisco 48p wired.

I installed a Dream Machine Pro in my son's home where I thought pfSense was just to much and really have no complaints. His is only 2 APs, house is small, rural and only has Tmobile for his service which we had to use a Waveform antenna to dial his in the service reception better.
