The simplicity is great.

All the dark art and knowledge spread around is a pain, tty controls, escape codes, etc.. I’ve used terminals for decades but where the lines are draw between terminal, shell, tty and terminal emulator might be worth readdressing; it’s 2017 and I will semi regularly see broken escape codes, Eshell in Emacs doesn’t deal with the color prompt correctly as an example.

This isn’t a terminal thing exactly but I’ve got 4K displays and greater then 1080p on laptops and there is still a strong 80 column legacy. Ideally terminal-ng would not ntroduce some future version of 80columns, I can’t think what that would be. Perhaps somehow bridging between fixed width and non fixed width fonts or something like that, somehow.
