      They’re the best. I mean, just look at the alternative that Windows offers… oh wait there isn’t any.

      Some man pages are just gigantic lists of unintuitive parameters in alphabetical order with no usage examples and even if you know how to search for text in a man page (forward slash then the text you want to search for) you’re just stabbing in the dark.

      Others are excellent.

      The problem with man pages is that you never know if you’re getting the former or the latter.
