No. One of the main reasons I like this "limited" UI is because it also means less clutter. No popups, no stupid notifications or animations, no useless and seemingly infinite menus. Just relevant information and nothing else. I can imagine a UI without these limits, I've used it for decades, and now I'm glad I can often stay away from it. If there wasn't a huge problem with horrible overloaded UIs we wouldn't have plugins for blocking ads and scripts on websites or distraction-free modes in text editors. I'm not against displaying simple graphics in the terminal(e.g. like ranger does), but there's a point where a decrease in limitations only means an increase in eye candy.
