Whether the content is more stimulating, that is subjective and I'm not sure I would agree, but easier to read, yes.

I prefer the fixed font, the light text on black background, and the lack of UI elements.  Having the window (or the entire screen) dedicated to the task at hand so you can focus.  Some editors on some BBS's aren't that great (the Mystic one is one of the best), but you can also download a QWK packet and use your own editor, which is another usability win.
