While I'm no more important than the
next guy, I'll defend the auto-pager feature of both git and journalctl.
I love it, in fact. I'm no stranger to very long pipelines
and sub-shells but I see nothing but benefit in not having to add "|
less" routinely to things that are UI in nature. These auto-pagers
get out of the way immediately if you need a pipeline, so what's the harm?
In fact, you can still "journalctl | less" or the like
if you really want to.
