I must concur with xahlee here. I have tried woman several times and my
first reaction was "oh, nifty!". But then, many details (the most
prominent being start-up time) drove me away from it. At long last, I'm
still using man on a conventional terminal (and I do use Emacs as my
primary editor most of the time!).
I'm convinced that woman could realize its potential more if criticism
wouldn't be shrugged off like this. Xahlees comments were, after all
quite clear and to the point.
