I preferred 'more' over 'less' only in situations where I just wanted to see the first couple of many pages of output from something (for example compilation errors where the root cause is at the beginning and the rest is meaningless). 'less' would then block user interaction while reading all input (interruptible with ^G), while 'more' would display the first page immediately and stop reading from stdin. For all other use cases, 'less' seemed clearly superior.
