I rarely post here but I'm definitely in the man page format over texinfo
camp.  Info means you have to learn emacs to navigate.  Guess what?
A lot of the world loves vi over emacs but the vi guys did not make you
learn vi to read docs.

The info stuff alienates anyone who is not an emacs fan.  That's why
people don't like info.   Documentation should be inclusive, info is
exclusive.
