The sad thing being that one doesn't need to invoke the endless baggage of
windows to have a playable interface.  Look at Informer or VPA for Planets
examples, or check out the old game Reach for the Stars.  These do it all in
one tenth the space, and doing text mode stuff on screen is always less taxing
on your system than graphics mode stuff.

Of course, I still enjoy playing nethack, so your milage may vary :)
