This I am afraid does not feel as the right thing to do. I think the KISS-principle is a good standard to follow and while terminals have to do more than one thing, it should not do everything. Complexity leads to instability. Terminals has to be nimble and not clumsy behemoths like web browsers.

Terminals are far from simple, that's the whole problem. We carry the weight of decades of technical constraints and arbitrary decisions on our shoulders every time we fire up a terminal emulator.

I am all for removing old junk but not that it should be replaced with newer junk.

Let's replace it with something useful then, junk isn't the only option

Yeah... I have no wish to use a terminal with graphics modes.
