I dont get confluence. It just looks like a group of github readmes
Except worse: Confluence tries insanely hard to prevent anyone actually getting at the document source code. So you are expected to use the godawful interactive web editor to make any changes.
Do you leave auto formatting on and deal with Confluence making bad decisions, or leave it off and have to manually set all the formatting?
I go for the second option, but I'm not sure it's less irritating or not.
Clearly you've not had to use the home grown documentation methods.
