That said, instead of complaining about terminal UI in emacs, you could
consider developing a CoreAnimation UI for emacs. If you can display
emacs windows nicer than SublimeText or Light Table, everybody'll be
happy. But that'll just be yet another display engine for emacs. This
won't change fundamentally the fact that it works mostly with text.
