It's not just you.
Many people don't like to search through the Info pages and whether this
interface is the best one for Emacs documentation is always a hot topic
on the emacs-devel mailing list.
But `i' (M-x Info-index) will really make your life easier.
Personnally I do like Info pages and Info-mode very much. In addition
to Info-index, I'm mostly using these:
`l' Info-history-back
`L' Info-history
`]' Info-forward-node
Once you get used to these few commands, it's really quick to find and
fetch relevant information.
