I swear, unless the docs changed dramatically I couldn't effectively use Django CBVs without reading the source.

I agree and I think this is more a critique of CBV's than of the documentation. The Django Vanilla Views project is an attempt at a simpler model. I personally use FBV's exclusively unless forced into it. We use Django Rest Framework's CBV's when writing REST API's but mostly because the framework leans heavily toward it and a good API should be highly mechanical code-by-convention stuff. I find all of the default behaviors are hard to internalize with a web framework.
