No one is beating you up for your opinion. One should be able to
express alternate points of view without being made to look bad.
But let us face it, less is not only more, it is far too much :-) Less
gone wild.
@ Fortune Yost had added page mode as a line discipline. That
would've avoided the temptation to turn less into a mini editor.

Less was a huge improvement. If you want me to dig out why I will
but I don't want to because it will make you look bad, that is not
my goal.
