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.
