You don't have "up", "next", "previous", "top" keyboard keys, and the respective buttons scroll around with the rest of the page. ...
Okay okay okay, I get your point. I won't argue with you on the benefits on using Info vs HTML; as I said I use it myself when I feel like using it. Some days though, I just like to browse around some plain "dumb" HTML. And, I won't give in here, "forcing" new users to use this (for some of them at least) "strange" Info interface when we could also provide a link (it would not need to be the default) to some HTML-version of the documentation, is a pity. Just because we know Info is superior to HTML in many respect does not mean that we should not provide an alternative. For example, we could add a new menu item, "Read the manual online" (or maybe "Read the HTML manual online") under the sub menu Help -> More manuals. I did not read this thread from the beginning so I probably should stop now...
