seen the win32 aesthetic used for higher-order reasons: separating "work mode" from playtime. An extra user to do so on the same machine helps.

Connect the dots reading https://www.marginalia.nu/log/99_context/ and seeing the ui change in old vs new screencasts https://www.youtube.com/@ViktorLofgren/videos

I tried this, but documentation is often a huge problem. Increasing amounts of it are primarily online and not particularly straightforward to mirror locally.

you could try Zealdocs - it was a reason to go reading more of the projects own documentation pages. There are converters for whatever-doc/ssg-framework a project uses to Docset, the packaged format it relies on. Though ignoring that, how approachable the docs are to different levels of experience is another thing.

I learned heaps from treating a REPL as an (offline) escape room, in terms of how to get inline help, variable introspection and debugging tricks. Not every language offers a convenient one though.
