What does GWX do? Any interesting features, that could convince me to download it? Convince me...

Others can probably "sell" it better than me, but:

GWX won't fix the crew management portion. SH3Commander does that. Commander is a add on that adds many enhancements to your careers and patrols. Besides some crew management options, you can start patrols at sea, enable malfunctions and/or sabotage, realistic career lengths(no more 30 patrol careers), randomize crush depth of your submarine so you never quite know how deep you're able to go, plus many others.

GWX...where do I start?

Better graphics.
16km atmosphere.
Many mods that come with it that you may enable.
More ships and aircraft.
Better AI.
Campaign enhancements.

The list can go on. It is definitely a huge improvement over stock.
There are other "uber" mods out there that are very good as well-NYGM, WAC 4.0.

Check out the GWX website:

Play stock for a little bit to get used to it. That is what I did and I found that I got bored with it pretty quick and upgraded to GWX2.1 pretty quickly.

Welcome.

Yes the manual is nearly useless as a game aid. Check the Tips & Tricks thread near the top of this section. You'll find a lot of useful information posted there.

I just wanted to add that, whatever you do, don't click on those shortcut buttons (ie. surface attack, etc.) that you see in the crew management screen. If you do the game will very likely ctd (crash to desktop). This is a well known bug that exists in both stock & modded versions of the game. Unfortunately nobody has been able to fix it so move your crew around manually to avoid this problem.

Like Sharkbit said, play around with stock until you're used to it then prepare to be blown away by GWX & SH3 Commander.

Seriously?? I've been using them a lot since the beginning, without any problem. Knock on wood then....

Some people have problems with them others don't . I'm in the 2nd group. I have wondered whether the same group has the problem when saving submerged. Again some people suffer CTD's when the open a game saved submerged others don't. Just lucky I guess not to fall into either camp.

If you want to take a look at GWX go to the site linked off my sig.
