I surely don't hate it, it just gets on my nerves more than
some others. And the help pages are really lacking basic info.
Simple example:

Help LFNoise1

  Generates linearly interpolated random values at a rate. 
  freq - approximate rate at which to generate random values.

OK. But:

- What is the range of the random values (for mul: 1, add: 0) ?
- How are they distributed ?

It's not really a big effort to include that info. Of course
I can write to some code to find out. But having to do that
almost every time I try to find out something gets tedious.
