Actually, I don't really like the links in info pages, especially since many projects use then excessively.
With a manpage I just hit / and type a search query, i.e. -r or recursive, it's easy to find what you want this way, even with large manpages like
mplayer(1).
With info pages this is much more difficult ...
I also don't like the keybinds with info (EMacs style CTRL X Meta Y Shift j <string> to search), with man you can just use any pager you want, info has the pager integrated so you're forced to use whatever GNU tells you to use.
