I only use 'less' these days.
I think the last time I used 'more' was about 1993.
I don't recall 'less' being unavailable for a very long time.

Think of less as more++.
Same functions as more, with additional functions.
Besides additional navigation, less... only reads file chunks, whereas most more implementations ingest/slurp the entire file before producing output.
The history of less likely began when someone was viewing large files + more took... a very long time to do initial file load.
