While html-rendering is somewhat more dynamic (I wished I knew how
to build emacs info documentation with less width) and at least
in graphical environments even provides pictures, it's easier to
navigate info documentation (going "up", notion of TOC,).

I prefer info docs and do read info manuals more closely than any
documentation in any other format.

Ciao; Gregor
