Thanks for the show! At one point I used emacs on the console because I didn't have enough RAM to run X windows and a compiler at the same time.

Never sat down and got the Linux console to use a good font - these days I run the i3 window manager, so I get a lot of terminal windows, and graphics apps as needed.

If you're looking for an improved sort of ncurses, you could look into the Textual framework.

Figured there would be more comments here about '6'!
