*laugh*  I missed that original.  

Ahhh, when good admins stick together...  Or at least agree on something.

There's a difference, though...  We're more what software developers
consider "power users".  They don't cater to power users, they cater to the
lowest common denominator.

Unless they're a really special company.  My local ISP came out with many
things for power users that were done at my insistence.

I'd rather have the row/column count change on window drag resize, than
have the font size change.  If I had to have one.  If I can't have that
one, I'd rather it did -neither-, and was not resizable via drag, just
access the font size through the menus, and access the viewport area via
the menus as well.  I don't like the ability to drag my mouse, get the
button wedged under my keyboard, and accidentally go from 18pt to 30pt or
something.  And on-the-fly resize of the viewport is problematic unless you
remember to use resize(1), or stty(1).

Anzio can adjust viewport size...just not by dragging.  View->Screen
Size->Custom.
