"Software documentation" is such a broad category that I don't think
any of us can be sure what you are seeking. The documentation 
requirements are completely different for a mass audience desktop 
software application (e.g. a word processor) compared to a web 
application (e.g. a picture sharing application), or game software, 
or a complex and fairly specialized application (e.g. a sophisticated 
photo editing tool like Photoshop), or software for developers 
(e.g. APIs or programming languages), or tools for system administrators.
 
One software application that used to be singled out for special
mention of its documentation was Intuit's Quicken, but I haven't
used that tool for a number of years and don't know whether the
documentation is still as special as it once seemed.
