Personally it is the emacs-centric interface. I don't get it. (I did
use emacs for a while, but I remember hardly any commands, vim was
just easier for me to remember). Also, when I have tried info a few
times, I see a highlighted word (link) that I want to follow, info
tells me there is no link there.
In short, I haven't been able to get it to work. 'man' works though.
(and I hate those manpages that say "this manpage sucks cause I [the
author] like info better")
