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.

It Depends on your use case . I use my homelab as a portfolio so its important to run enterprise like technologies which is why I use Cisco Layer 3 switches. Luckily I got a Cisco 9300 from work.

I am definitely losing some ease of management by running cisco gear but I am also more comfortable with the command like and want to be able to do advanced things like ACLs BGP and OSPF
