So stop this *insane* insistence of emacs. You should learn to just
assume that people don't even have it installed!
We were discussing Texinfo, not Emacs.  Please focus.
I would welcome if the set of our documentation output formats
included *.info pages.

However, as the input format, texinfo _is_ painful.  AsciiDoc is
100x easier.  I've written documentaiton in texinfo format in
the past, and one thing I found quite painful was maintaining
the node header with prev/next links --- tedious, error prone
and boring.  There is no good editor to help you maintain them
other than Emacs texinfo mode as far as I know.
