Well, man pages are the standard way to get documentation. Sometimes --help is detailed enough to be a replacement (in which case I can tolerate the lack of man pages), but usually not.

I don't really care about documentation on the web. In fact I'd rather you simply treat the man pages as the single source of truth and put the man pages on the web. Sort of like https://linux.die.net/man/



https://manpages.debian.org/ffmpeg (or whatever package) is good, too.
