There is a very high "startup cost" to writing TexInfo documentation. "Startup cost" come when you are giving birth to a manual or introducing a big chapter in an existing manual. What one can do is, write out the documentation in Org and use the Org->TexInfo exporter to create the initial draft. Just enable texinfo in the `org-export-backends' and export the usual way. ps: I find the texinfo markup verbose-y and the `@'-s irritating. Honestly speaking, what gets in the way is one's own dislike and reluctance.
