Well it certainly doesn't force anything. I could probably adopt some bad practices if I really tried. The screen really isn't that small. I disable scroll-bars, tool bars and menu bars in emacs. Using 11pt profont I get two vertical buffers of 81 cols by 102 rows. That's quadruple the size of a vt100 terminal. How much more could you need? haha If I had to use gnome this display size would be unusable but stumpwm makes it very usable.
