Though I agree that the documentation is comprehensive, that itself can be a barrier. It all seems very deeply nested and enterprisey. I'm often left wanting a layer of noob-friendly UI or documentation, or "You probably want X"-style guidelines that differentiate between typical use cases and non-typical ones.
Compare, for example, the Digital Ocean UI for creating new VMs. It's a much more pleasant experience than the AWS Console for the new user with a small scale use case.
