Org mode is not easier to use than Texinfo... at least, I didn't figure
out how to use it.

IIRC it's also much slower to create similarly sized .info files from
Org source than it is with makeinfo, and it also requires an entire
manual to be contained in a single file.

Texinfo also comes with the added benefit of not requiring Emacs to edit
or to translate into other formats.
