Unfortunately, you appear to be a minority.

Look, it's all well and good to say "I'm 1337! I use Mutt, or I use Links!". But let's be honest, the majority of people are not going to use a text mode web browser or a text mode email client.

And this isn't something you're born with, like a vision impairment, so people need to make a website accessible for you. This is a personal preference.

Hence, as much as some of us neckbeards might like to go back to a works where 256 colours was the bomb =), the rest of the world has moved on.

Text only e-mail is more productive for everyone, in exactly the same way that text only authoring applications are more productive. When you are writing something, fiddling around with the layout is just a distraction. Many people might prefer it, but lots of people also like to play Patience on their workstation rather that getting on with what they are supposed to be doing.
