I mean, I'm not info(1)'s greatest fan, but it's really not that bad if
you spend a trivial amount of time reading its own docs, which it points
you at at the bottom of the screen when you start the program. For
example, under "Index Commands", "i", "I", and "M-x index-apropos" seem
helpful.
FWIW, I'm not even slightly an emacs fan (nor user).
