When I'm writing documentation for my own projects, I usually do prefer man, at least for reference documentation; or else I do everything in DocBook (and perhaps generate a manpage from that). When I'm doing GNU projects... I would probably do just pure Texinfo, and let man rot, except that I know that some GNU/Linux distributions (notably Debian) require that all packages have man pages, which means if I don't write 'em, the package maintainer will have to. :) So I end up doing both. - -- Micah J.
