I like a good CLI, I like a good TUI, but why are we eschewing high-DPI graphical displays, icons, true-color, images, and everything else in favour of a 1980s terminal? Is it just to be retro, or do you guys really think you're seeing some advantage restricting yourself like this? Do you all REALLY hate moving your hand over to your mouse?

Yes, I hate the inefficiency of moving my hand away from my finger input device. I hate the non-deterministic nature of mouse movement, in contrast to the deterministic nature of the keyboard.
