Useless things like scrollback support. LOL > No noticeable or any seriously impacting issues I can remember so far. Other than all of the "useless" missing features of course.

Isn't that lovely, needing 15 different software packages set up and running to do what ONE well designed piece of software should be able to do by itself? > Thanks suckless community and its developers for their wonderful > software (I use dwm, st, dmenu, tabbed, slock) and inspiration resources > for non-bloated sane software! Yes, it's so sane that you can't even configure the thing on the command line; you have to EDIT THE SOURCE FILE to change any options! And then when you complain that some of the options are completely undocumented, be prepared to be assaulted by some egghead who will scream at you that "well it CLEARLY says right here on page 573 of the Snorfus Obscure Guide to Terminal Interactions if you had only BOTHERED to look for that SNAGUWFLL means FooBarusLegolas, FOOL. Obviously you are too much of an IDIOT to use this software." If that's sanity, lock me up in the asylum, please.
