GNU’s insistence on building their own documentation system instead of sticking to good old UNIX’s man pages is obnoxious. They provide second rate man pages and pretty good info docs. Why? Why not use some sort of generator that spits out the same data as both man pages and info pages? Anyone who wants to navigate from Emacs or use the schmanzy fancy navigation can use them and those of us who prefer man will still get full documentation. Doesn’t seem like so much to ask. So, GNU: knock it off. I hate info and trying to suck me into using it isn’t going to help matters any.
