Info is kind of cool but as others have stated requires learning yet another command line user interface. It's nice to hear that in recent years it's been made more user friendly by respecting arrow keys, etc but IMHO nothing can touch man foo | col -b > /tmp/foo.1 && vi /tmp/foo.1 for simplicity. It's not a vi vs emacs thing as much as I just want to get to the data and get the tool out of my way kind of thing.
Particularly when taking a certain vendor's certification tests, it was the work of seconds to write a man page example to disk and turn that into a script.
