Info itself is rather obscure I think. Excepting Emacs users, most
people just stick with man pages (single-page, colorful, familiar keys,
zero-effort, daily use), which is a shame since Info is a far superior
system.

I always meant to learn to use Info, but only got around to it recently. I
played around with the keys and commands and in the process unearthed
the bugs. I think find-menu is actually useful, visit-menu less so.

I mostly keep the default keybindings, although some customization is
necessary. I think Info could be slightly more colorful, adding support
for styling the “pointers” top line, the bottom “mode line”,
and chapter/section headers, for example. I guess these are done already
in Emacs Info mode. They are not necessary, of course. I like Info.

Thanks to y’all for maintaining and developing the program.
