That’s fine, we all have our preferences.  :-)

What makes Info (whether in Emacs or the ‘info’ command) appealing to me
is that (1) it’s straight on my machine and off-line, (2) I’m sure I’m
looking at the version of the manual that corresponds to the version I’m
using, and (3) there are efficient and IMO intuitive navigation key
bindings (‘n’ for ‘next’, ‘i’ for ‘index’, arrows to scroll, etc.)

Should we expand
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Documentation.html>?

Though again, it’s okay if others prefer to browse the HTML doc.
