Terminals are underused. This is why I push for implementation of all off terminal codes such as double width and height, blink, smooth scrolling, ReGIS, Tek 4010 and so on. I had a small victory long ago by adding 25 and 50% fills in sysdig spectrograms so that running it on the framebuffer console looked better.

Imagine an htop using Tektronix graphics. Or ReGiS.

I managed to convince the Windows Terminal folks to support overline (so I could have a 3270-like status on tmux, where I added overline myself).

Now I got myself into promising to implement Tektronix for VTE.
