Running less +F <FILE> (follow ) or less +G <FILE> then F or less <FILE> 
then F does not seem to work (since at least v 530) on logs updated 
every second or so or longer, showing only the last line(s) when 
started, unlike tail -f or xtail:

Compare:

$ for ((i = 1; i < 10000000; ++i)); do
   echo $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i
   sleep 1
done > t & less +F t
[wait]
^C

q
$ kill %1

to:

$ for ((i = 1; i < 10000000; ++i)); do
   echo $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i
   sleep 1
done > t & tail -f t
...
^C
$ kill %1

or:

$ for ((i = 1; i < 10000000; ++i)); do
   echo $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i $i
