I do use less sometimes, but sometimes I want to double check a command I typed a shirt while ago, or a command ends up outputting slightly more than I expected.

What I really want us an intelligent terminal, which attaches programming output to the program which produced it, let's me fold up long outputs, easily escape a long running program and store it output in a buffer for later checking, etc. But that seems annoyingly impossible.
