Yes! For some reason I still always type `man whatever` when I need to do something with a tool... even though I'm just presented with 50 pages of gibberish that I scroll through for a few pages then go to Stack Overflow.
The problem I usually find is that man pages give equal importance to every possible flag - making really hard to figure out which elements you most likely will need to do common tasks.
