Both have slightly different features. I find woman great for longer and more in-depth man reading sessions, but M-x man is great when I just want to check something like command line switches etc. Thank you Tim. M-x woman The thing that bugs me about M-x woman is that it starts another instance of emacs; is there a way to prevent this?
