Kinda neat but I had trouble using it. Not sure what it is doing or what it is even showing me. I'd recommend a more CUA-esque interface like turbo vision, the msedit of old, or micro if it had a menu.
If I have to read the manual, if it isn't blindingly obvious how to use, I'd rather just use journal or tail -f.
Also a nitpick but the colors are quite garish, perhaps 256 colors and muted or monochrome effects if possible. For some reason the colors on the site screenshot are less saturated than the one packaged in my distro, fedora, 0.12.4.
Thanks, I didn’t know what logs it opened, or how to open others. It had menus and drop downs but I didn’t understand what they were listing.
Need to read the manual I guess, not a big deal but it should be obvious for a log viewer. Why I recommended CUA, though I understand it is not so common on Unix.

Can you elaborate a little more? lnav behaves like a pager with the conventional hotkeys for basic stuff. I'm not sure what else you are expecting.
I enjoy colors, so there's a lot going on by default. There are several themes builtin. You can configure the "grayscale" theme by running:
