W3m is an obscure text-browser. A but like lynx, but better. Most of the web these days really requires you to use a full-fledged browser, with graphics and JavaScript and all that (and that's probably a good thing),maybe i am a control-freak, but i want the ability to make an informed decision before (1) i run a particular javascript program or (2) view an image file.
Which is fair enough. But most people neither have the desire, nor the technical understanding to make such an informed decision. And images and JavaScript, with all their problems, make browsing the web a more pleasant experience for people like my mother, or my grandfather. Hence probably a good thing.
