- 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.
