It's not just you.  

Many people don't like to search through the Info pages and whether this
interface is the best one for Emacs documentation is always a hot topic
on the emacs-devel mailing list.

But `i' (M-x Info-index) will really make your life easier.

Personnally I do like Info pages and Info-mode very much.  In addition
to Info-index, I'm mostly using these:

  `l' Info-history-back
  `L' Info-history
  `]' Info-forward-node

Once you get used to these few commands, it's really quick to find and
fetch relevant information.

HTH,
