> The whole point of terminal programming is that you live within the abstraction which is the terminal
I really fundamentally disagree that there is a "whole point" to terminals (or any other kind of things we use when we use computers). They are just tools which are able to perform things and one should really not ascribe any kind of semantic layer to them, as this is always a very very brittle abstraction. Just look at things in terms of what they are able to do, not what they are called.
