I largely agree with this, but I also would like to see things like having ANSIs that have greater resolution than 80x25, and maybe even have support for unicode, or at least a simplified set of unicode.

Basically, I like the lack of graphics and variety of things that make it hard to share memes or have posts go viral, but don't get why that means we have to stick to 16 colors, 80x25, 7-bit ASCII.

Though, on that note, I think Synchroterm has been making progress on those things, and I know Magiterm supports greather than 16 colors, even if I'm not quite sure how to draw anything with more colors.
