Maybe I'm strange, but I just like having code and doc in separate 
places. I like being able to absorb the code at a glance, and for me 
embedded documentation just gets in the way. Also, I'm rather into how 
my code "looks," and embedded docs detract from that "look." Perhaps I'm 
the only one who's that way.

When I'm coding, I typically have Mozilla open for reference purposes, 
most often with multiple docs (the browser tabs are perfect for this). 
But even with embedded docs, the source of the library (and therefore 
its docs) would be open in a separate window from where I'm coding, 
unless I'm editing the library itself.
