I realize that you're joking, but... vim is a better less than less is, in almost all cases, for viewing code, because you get syntax highlighting.

I'm not a vim user, but I use it to replace less because syntax highlighting is the bee's knees: (you may need to change `vim74` to whatever it is on your system.)

  alias less='/usr/share/vim/vim74/macros/less.sh'

You can then do things like:

  less Makefile +400

which pairs very nicely with `grep -n`.
