In my mind, they're still in scramble mode from a rushed release, and I can understand not having time for a dev to spare to document functions that may not be formally documented internally very well, since they can do a debug build and use introspection.
When the code stabilizes and the DLL sources are released, and they say they're done: if there is still no lua docs, and broken art tools, etc, raise pitchforks. I think they're still crunching after a release Firaxis would have pushed back if their parent company would let them. Remember, there's not that many people working on Civ 5 who can actually make the changes modders need, and they're busy fixing other things.
Yes, i'm sure that is a good point of view, but i fear the fact that, if they do not support the mod community now, they lost one of the biggest weapon civ has... If mods become disaffected (or at least the most creative ones, like Lemmy who undertook the religion project) the new modders, the ones that have to learn "to do", will have even more difficulties to grasp the game logic....
I think that if they not release what the modding community need to work for several months, probably they will not have a modding community to give them...
Or, alt least, a very little community, that is like several other games, not like a civ game until now....
I'm disappointed, because, as i stated elsewhere, i was pinning my hopes more in the modding community than in the developers.... That's like an blow of an axe on my neck... Bloody and deadly....
Sorry, but this is overreacting. Firaxis stated at the point of launch that there was a lot more to do in the area of modding and they are working to improve it.
You found some bugs and rough spots; not surprising. But it's way too early to start claiming they hate us all and the game won't be truly moddable.
You don't understand the point, that the best modders are refusing to work without a good support from Firaxis...
That's the problem, not the support itself.. If the modders think that now it is not worth of their work, it's a tragedy, because we will see only half baked, mini mods, that change little of the game, or that are not too complex to be implemented... And the worst thing is that the modders can learn little or nothing for now, if they don't search by themselves, a stressing work for sure...
The documentation is not all there yet, but the design core seems to basically be provided. And the way the game handles code and source files (particularly the use of SQL to reduce the difficulty of changing common values) has dramatically changed the modding picture and made some things that would have taken hours to do previously now take less than 30 seconds. Case in point, I recently increased the cost of all Techs by 20% of their base value. Time spent: about 15 seconds to change the SQL. In Civ IV it would have required editing every tech cost directly or finding some way to reduce global tech values, which off the top of my head I'm not even sure you could have done. Long story short, don't let modders frustrations trouble just yet. If January rolls around and we still don't have those tools, it may be more of an issue then.
WTH. Thought experiment...applying for a job...programming experience (resume)...Modbuddy?...nah just stick to Visual Studio. 
Trying to figure out why the city graphics dissapears yesterday and model doesn't appear was quite frustrating
. The mod contains graphics (simple reskin of Hagia Sofia), but the 3d graphics won't appear on the map.
