Second, it's a little bit more than that. It's an interface. Its
purpose is to use libraries to display pdf documents. Nobody is using
libraries to read pdf documents: one need a reader for that and it's the

Yes, you look at the pictures because you can't read. Copy that.

Big fucking deal. Zathura offers *no* advantage whatsoever over
the much simpler viewers such as xpdf, qpdfview, or epdfview.

Any advantage exists only inside your head.
Xpdf and qpdfview are libraries, any advantage of zathura is obvious to
anyone who would be stupid enough to try to use them to view a pdf.
And epdfview is long dead, even before being finish. So the advantages
of a well done tool over an unfinished dead tool are obvious to anyone
except you. Just the continuous scrolling is a big advantage. I know: as
you can't read, you can't understand that argument.
My advice is to keep your idiotic illusions to yourself.
Nobody never follows any advice from you. They are so stupid that even
you don't follow your own advices.
