    Reading a blog post is more accessible than reading a man page.

    I don’t agree with that assessment at all. People should learn to read manpages, instead of being spoon-fed pieces of manpages in inferior form.

      Any program should have a man page, even if it only lists all options. My point is that a blog post helps some people to learn about a program. For example a post often highlights the most important options of a software.
