I've used it. I *hated* it.  You keep having to scan up and down between the
commands you're typing and their results.  That and the abysmal reaction when
you enter and leave a cbreak/curses application like an editor, or less: when
I leave less, I want the last thing I've been looking at to still be on the
screen, thanks.

Yeuch.
