WoMan also fails to draw tables.

Check out this dump:

http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/man_sv/dumps/woman_man_ascii.png

There you see the man and woman representation of the groff source.

It is absolutely not uncommon to browse the man pages (`M-x man')
in Emacs. You can navigate them with the familiar shortcuts, you
can yank quotes into mails or messages, and if you write source
code, you won't have to leave Emacs (you can have the
documentation in one window, and the source in another).

The exact same reasoning goes for info.

But there is no reason to put the man pages against info. But are
useful and you should learn to get comfortable with both.
