TL;DR: What is wrong with the world that software that prints text to the screen has/needs a special project by a megacorp to make it perform/operate acceptably.
But you could say the same thing of browsers.
- nacs 6y agoIt's understandable that a browser has to render a wide variety of audio/visual/3D things. A terminal on the other hand - it literally has to just print text to a screen and he's right that a bunch of hype and over-engineering of a solution for it is silly. PCs have been outputting text to screen faster than a human can process for over 60 years now (and bonus: using a lot less resources than today's Windows Console of the month).
