I migrated from multitail to lnav. Turned out to be a no-brainer.

I second the above, just one pain point with multitail to add. I often page/search/filter in the scrollback buffer (I typoed "bugger" - Freudian slip?) and in multitail the scrollback is a separate window with a frame and everything, which is a pain (copying whole lines using mouse includes the frame, ugh). The filtering/searching being a separate pain.

One thing I used in multitail and not sure if I migrated wholly to lnav was log file syntax highlighting using regexes.
