Does it ever become natural? Instinctive? Does it ever get to

Like learning a human language, it's like bags of sand.

Depends on the program.

And what are the factors?

The more you immerse yourself the easier it gets. idk what you are trying to do, but do that thing often.

A year ago I told myself I would stop clicking around in activedirectory. It was slow going but I am a level 10 powershell wizard now.

I've mostly reached that "intuitive" point for my favorite game engine. But it's not at all realistic to expect that at some point you just magically won't need to ever read any API documentation anymore - unless you personally coded your entire environment from the OS up! What you can expect is getting better at finding what you're looking for.

Since you're asking this particular question, I'm guessing your first concern should be learning a language thoroughly. Programming languages are absolutely something you should stop needing docs for.

I guess I should of known, since there's so many different languages, and since different programs might have their own set of commands it's impossible to ever be able to guesswork all of it with no help, right?

Right, documentation exists so that you don't need inhuman memorization skills. There's a reason so many programmers like using two monitors: one for docs, one for code.
