Lacking the "F" command to tail a file being actively created.
Lacking the ability to view stdin.

Convenience.  I have a few scripts on Linux/Solaris (compatible), each
of which opens an xterm window and issues the "vi [-R]" or "less"
command on each filename argument.  This lets me open viewers
or editors in separate windows in a single line command without no
need to create a terminal, login, cd through a list of directories, and
view for each.
