To be honest, I do find most manuals (man pages) horrible to quickly get information how to do something and here LLMs do shine for me (as long as they don't mix up version numbers).



For man pages, you have to already know what you wants to do and just want information on how exactly to do it. They're not for learning about the domain. You don't read the find manual to learn the basics of filesystems.


I love manual pages, at least on/from OpenBSD.
