“most” is slightly more cumbersome to use. I find “less” simpler and faster at accomplishing things related to reading man pages. (Many shortcuts in “less” match those of vim what is great advantage to me.)

Also I am lazy to investigate how to change the default frustrating color palette used by “most.”

galternatives provides a nice GUI for updating the system’s alternatives setup. Its package and command name are both “galternatives”.

I’d like “most” better if it had the same controls as “less”. I was definitely thrown off when I tried to use ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ to scroll around! I can still work with “most” in the same way as “less,” but I like how I can use the ‘Page’, ‘Home’, and ‘End’ buttons, which are all grouped together on my keyboard, to scroll in “less”.
