I find the Handbook to not look very well due to its SGML nature and one
page per "chapter" layout.  The roff generated docs are nice proper
papers.

Not to mention, they can be read without a network connection or GUI
application.  (sure there's lynx, but its formatting of the Handbook
is even worse than a GUI browser)
