There is no tradeoff here. SL is designed to run different frontends from template data.
lynx will remain, there may be more of a split yet from the mozilla stuff to have a better display. Tables aren't rendered all that well in lynx but it does the trick. mozilla is a catch all do GUI browser framed frontend The Javascript port will go into bin/js and if one wants to run Javascript then you'd pass terminal=js The menu, which is something like your traditional "File", "Edit" pulldown menu on top is done but it requires a lot of horsepower to run.
