My experience has been that good documentation is mostly something done if somebody gets paid for the work. People working on stuff in their spare time just don't care enough to document their project.

That, or they don't care enough to pick it back up if they ever drop it. Nothing hurts worse than forgetting what you're trying to do because you don't even comment your code.
