Personally, I've never downloaded documentation of a programming language, and certainly not any third party libraries.

It's probably language dependent. I used to download Java API docs for faster reference, when I did that for a living. Now I've been using Go for a decade and API docs come as part of the packages.

I mean, is your LSP really calling out to the web every time you pull up a function signature documentation in your editor? That must be frustratingly slow, and inefficient. What language LSP does that?
