Such a strange take from someone I really respect who usually values digging into the why of things. I suppose we are all given to fits of pique on occasion but I don't know how anyone could avoid using info for that long. Makes me sad a bit, others with far better credentials than I have explained the technical advantages in this thread already, but info pages are so much better, they taught me a lot of what got me my first jobs in the industry. I hope it gives them the impetus to do a comic on getting and using documentation locally without the web and how to write more documentation. I guess in retrospect my love affair with that sort thing (info, and any other offline documentation) was due to having to use jigdo or even older tools to download a distro over a modem attached to a poor quality phone line, so having offline docs to refer to was a godsend.
