I am very sorry for the problems you have had, we will be alert to any report from any user with similar issues to find a pattern but so far no one has reported any such destructive problem.
There is one thing that you are right. There are still significant gaps in the documentation but this is a chronic problem of any software that is worse in open source and even worse when there are not enough hands and brains. The good news is that we are currently there and the next thing on the list is to complete the documentation. I hope it will be useful to you in your next attempt. I was not kidding, you should also try other systems to compare and choose the best environment for you. In fact you already have.
