This may be a question of taste thing? I've used doxygen on a number
of commercial code bases and it has proved very useful. The
call-graphs and code layout are very useful for comprehending call
patterns and usage. I've never felt the need to customise the output I
get from a simple doxygen config.

The generated documentation will only ever be as good as the source
code commentary though.
