less +F filename does the same thing, but loses the following when the logfile gets rotated. Does the same thing happen to tail -f? (edit: alexfoo answered that tail -F tracks the file properly)

one benefit to less +F is that you can cancel the following and read normally in less.

Yeah, including doing backwards and forward searches, that is very handy
