This is why Phil is the best person on the list, I love winding him
up... but seriously, he's just keeping us honest, like out very own
little RMS. You can't fault him for being super, super keen on every
little issue and genuinely hating everything closed source. I love it
when he goes off the deep end and starts ranting :]

What is wrong with you people? Vi, for the love of god - anything
fancier is a crime against computing. And plain old C.

I also have practically never used info, although on the face of it,
technically it is "better" than man. It's just that man isn't broken in
any way, it's always there and it's what I'm used to. Does seem a bit
odd that Debian left out the bash info package though.

Great tip on xdu by the way - it doesn't happen often, but every now and
then I still find a cool new tool hidden away in the repos.

Cheers
