I feel like it’s a nice intermediate step when learning the commands. man is great when you already know you have the right tool and you just need to check a flag. A newbie who just left Windows is gonna be so overwhelmed by a lot of manpages, but this does a nice job of easing them in using examples to give the user an idea of what that tool is capable of.
Why not just read the man page?
