I don’t want to explain my self again and again… please read comments in this forum.
Example1: cocos-creator-v2-0-2
Example2: Outdated Tutorials Problem
Example3: Updating is easy 
So, these Threads are in the first 10 in this Forum. There are way more other examples. Just have a look for yourself. My opinion is not generalized at all.
Do you know SonarSystems? They had extremly good Tutorials (Videos and Blogs). All of their Tutorials was outded within months. The Tutorial are useless now. and they stopped making CC Tutorials.
I don’t know which Versions it was, but in Version CCv3X they completely changed the Shader Function. That’s was fun to change whole Game Code. (We had to update CC because Google blocked some Games with older Cocos2dxv3 version because of outdated API used in CC at this time). Significant changes should not be marked as new revision.

You are new and you already realized that the Documentation is insufficiently. Wait until you have advanced Questions… ATM all Docs seems to be auto generated… and in most cases you won’t get answers in this forum.

You should leave. And please leave.
Trying make other user silent is for sure the right way. If someone overdoses his language there are ways to stop it… at least for admins. It’s not your Job.
If you start a Project you rely heavily on Coocs2dx. You dont use Cocos for one week and its done. Game Projects takes months/years. You need a working Engine for now and the Future. You have deadlines. You need to finish things in time. Coworker/Partner need your Parts… etc.
Your argument is just childish and very far from the reality. Look at Blender3D. I really like this Project its free and almost professional as like autodesk.
Example: I wrote extensions for Blender… and this extensions work on all Blender 2.5X to v2.7X versions. So if they release Blender 2.8 (They announced heavily changes for v2.8 years ago) I prepare my self for this change. And I’m not frusteded about this changes.
So… I’m out. I thinks I explained my point good enough. I wrote everything what’s in my opinion going in the wrong direction in the Cocos2d Development. Cocos Devs could listen to it or not… it’s their business.
