Preferred X11 LJ clients?

[topaz]

Those of you who read LiveJournal under X windows: what's your preferred LJ client? ljupdate.el is suddenly coughing up hairballs at me, and assuming I don't find the time to fix it, I'm looking for suggestions.

Stupid question, but what does a client get you that a browser doesn't?

More settings, you can save drafts of what you're working on, and most importantly, they tend to crash a lot less often than Web browsers do.

Well, logjam does have tendency to crash when you try to submit a post and LiveJournal is busy and you hit the Cancel button.

Hm. If it's long, I it compose in my "log" emacs window (which has been open nearly continuously since 1987 :-) and then paste it into my browser.

What's weird for me about LJ clients is that they seem to only cover about 2% of what one does with LJ (namely posting in your own journal). Most of LJ is about reading other people's stuff, or replying to their stuff.

Yeah, but if your browser crashes while reading, it's not a big deal.

For some reason, though, my browser hasn't crashed while leaving a comment. Funny, that.
