So now you're complaining that "there's too much documentation"? (or that "once you're in less you shouldn't be able to view another file without quitting"?)

He's complaining that there's too much crap in a single program that shouldn't have to do anything other than page files.
It has been possible to view another file without quitting less since pretty much the dawn of Unix time by suspending less and launching another instance (or, more recently, as in for the last thirty years or so, by using a terminal multiplexer).
