This complaint is entirely valid and healthy. If the Catalyst guys went hard core on making really great documentation that was reliable, accurate, and easy to use they could compete directly with Ruby on Rails and assist in revitalizing the entire Perl community at large.

Not to mention attract a much larger audience that would eventually include enough contributors to snowball the whole project into a massive push that might end up turning Catalyst into a more integrated core type project for Perl 6.

Maybe I'll stop working 16 hour days as a corporate whore and have time to help one of my dreams *sigh*
