The great thing about testing against text browsers are that they encourage accessibility and progressive enhancement. Much of the web looks silly in w3m unfortunately.

I'm actually a bit ignorant when it comes to text based browsers. I've heard two things though, maybe you know if they're true? I hear that they're used for checking websites for some types of malicious codes, as you can't hide anything from them. I've also heard that they're used in combination with Text to Speech programs for the visually impaired. Is that true?
