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.
