I cannot agree more. The most perfect terminal of the future will be the terminal of today. Leave it the heck alone. Terminal Emulators (1984 for MacTerminal), Vi (1976 by Bill Joy then 1988 by Bram Moolenaar for Vi IMproved) and Emacs (1976 by David A. Moon and Guy L. Steele Jr. then 1984 for GNU Emacs by Richard Stallman) are extremely primordial ancient programs. Among the oldest programs still in active use. There is a reason for that. During my evolution with technology, every time I wanted these programs to do something "familiar", it was because of my own ignorance and lack of familiarity. As I became familiar, I slowly realized that their power is in their simplicity. Not everything needs to be improved. "There is more to life than speeding it up" - Mahatma Gandhi
