Ralf,

I'm not sure that this is true anymore.

Axiom has been concentrating heavily on documentation and the
results are visible primarily to the end user. 

Axiom now has approximate 300 help files, 250 of which are algebra.
These are listed from the )help command.

Axiom now has examples for thousands of functions, so when a user does
  )d op map
he sees examples, such as:

  Examples of map from StreamFunctions2
  m:=[i for i in 1..]
  f(i:PositiveInteger):PositiveInteger==i**2
  map(f,m)

Axiom now has 19 documents defined, of which 9 are fully populated
and are being expanded continuously. All of the documentation is
hyperlinked for easy navigation. There is a combined table of contents.

Axiom has several full graphs of the algebra in various forms so
a user can navigate the graph and hyperlink directly into the 
document containing the associated algebra.

Axiom has one video on youtube which has been viewed 1168 times.
A second one is "in process" to be released shortly.
A whole series is planned.

Axiom has included a new
  )set debug
command that will expose various debugging tools to the end user.

Axiom's website focus is on end user issues, including building
easy-to-download binaries.

Axiom has a new firefox browser front end that incorporates about
80 percent of the existing hyperdoc pages as well as dozens of
new content pages.

All of these changes are end-user visible, and only on Axiom.
I think the end user can see these differences directly.
