How does w3m compare to lynx?


I use it mainly because it defaults to http; I never took the time to actually compare the two.


What's good in defaulting to http?


I suppose it wasn't as bad as I thought. If you type

    lynx news.ycombinator.com
it tries to "intelligently" choose the news:// protocol, which I have never used and probably never will. With w3m, it just goes to http no matter what the subdomain is.
