The man page for gcc goes on and on. Try it.

The info for gcc is a printed book, which is also accessible in the shell as hypertext (which predates html).

Better search and better organization of the document (TOC, index search, etc.). And reading/searching Info manuals is a lot more convenient in Emacs Info-mode.
