i have used dillo in the past and consider it useful, but at this point i
am not going to install gtk1.2 libs on my box. since i have "garbage"
hardware (old celeron laptop from 2001, 256 mb ram), i am in fact in the
market for light tools, but i have migrated to elinks. while i am running a
text-only browser, i am still doing so in an xterm with freetype etc
enabled. dillo needs to at least catch up with these advances.

by the way, elinks has some very neat features that make it worth
exploring. first and foremost in my mind is the ability to code my own
"hooks" with lua. this in my mind is much stronger than the firefox
kinda-equivalent, greasemonkey. i would love it if firefox simply provided
the same lua extensions that elinks supports today.
