+ The terminal is old and crappy: this is not a thing that needs to
|
|
|
|
+ be elaborated on. However, most of the 'modern alternatives', in
|
|
|
|
+ trying to improve on the terminal, improve away most of the advantages
|
|
|
|
+ of a terminal.

|
+ Thule (formerly `GBU`) is a hypothetical UI system that stands
|
|
|
|
+ somewhere between a terminal and window manager, but one that attempts
|
|
|
|
+ to sidestep many of the problems with other computer UI systems. In
|
|
|
|
+ particular, it builds on top of a relatively simple UNIX substrate,
|
|
|
|
+ without trying to reinvent _too_ much elsewhere.
