This is almost as bad as Vi vs Emacs vs Joe(WordStar)...
Let's not go there. (and yeah, I use Joe.. )

But I seem to have elinks issues with cookies and simple or digest auth
sometimes. It's probably the things I am doing with auth and cookies.,
but Lynx works better when I need to login via auth.

Neither handle odd characters sets (traditional chinese, hindi etc..)
out of the box... and I haven't attempted very hard to make them, yet.

well.. back to work.. got deadlines.. at least it's not a warm sunny day.
