That said, instead of complaining about terminal UI in emacs, you could consider developing a CoreAnimation UI for emacs.

This won't change fundamentally the fact that it works mostly with text. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ A bad day in () is better than a good day in {}.
