'info' is an abomination.
Why so? OK, it's very different from man, but besides that I really don't see a reason to call it an abomination.

It is far from intuitive... I haven't found very many people that like it and every time I give it a whirl, I get the same opinion.
info files are best read using emacs in my opinion (if you have a year to spare, I heartily recommend learning to use emacs:-) If you do not like the info program now, you should have seen it before they broke down and added cursor key support (now THAT was painful -- and is probably why so many old-timers dislike info so much.)
