INFO is meant to be used from your editor [in practice I think this means Emacs -- vim sadly never got round to integrating info]. Info documents can be referenced simply by a few keystrokes and give context-dependant help while editing code. Quite indispensable for me when I'm coding Python, for example. Unlike the traditional terse, hi-brow style still adhered to most man page writers today, info pages expect a human to be reading them and add examples.
