Totally agree!

Especially the last point is hard to fix. To clone the functionality of sent
(resizing of text and images, clicking through slides, etc) you need JavaScript
and modern CSS. In sent.js¹ I use JavaScript to make a slide based presentation
out of a plain text, so at least if JavaScript fails, it will still be very
readable and easy to copy.

I would rather print a plain sent formatted file than single paper slides. Hard
to imagine someone holding up a single sheet of paper with just a few words on
it. But I'm not very good with analog media anyway.
