Tar man pages vs. info is actually a pretty good example in favour of info. The tar documentation is extensive enough that a single man page would be about as wieldly as the single man page for bash.

Fortunately, bash and tar both have good info documentation.

Oh, I agree completely. I love info. I find it much easier to use than man pages.
