They feel that man pages make poor user manuals. And they don't want to have redundant information (a man page as a reference sheet and a user manual to learn how to use the app). If you make an application I suggest you have a small man page in any case. Then write the documentation in any format that will let you convert it to the following formats: o plain text o html o ps o pdf Info allows you to do that, but many other formats (arguably better) can also do that.
