By focusing on the relationship between the content, style, and architecture of documentation, Diátaxis aims to enhance both the quality of content and the usability for end-users. It has proven beneficial in various real-world projects, as evidenced by positive feedback from companies like Vonage and Gatsby, who have successfully implemented the framework to create high-quality documentation.
