- nkozyra 9y agoIt can be helpful in terminals that support it but it's easy to overdo. Here, the box/table is literally separating two pieces of info (ordinance+domain) so there's no need to lose all that screen space. And the big logo is obviously unnecessary and probably reduces re-use - seems like I'm dialing into a Renegade BBS circa 1992. I think there are UX benefits to introducing color and formatting when available, but it's best kept subtle.
