`info` and `man` solve two different problems,
regardless of one's
opinion of the interface to the former (which can be learned, it's no
more arcane than `vi`).
I feel like the man vs info war (IMHO it's a war) on Linux has gone too
far. Far enough that there are some tools that have between woefully
inadequate man pages to missing man pages in favor of info documentation.
