Sometimes less is more. Having access to more features sometimes leads devs to bloat their applications and make them subjectively less usable. A pathological example for me would be gvim. I tried using it for a while but I kept running into weird performance issues and general lagginess. Meanwhile from a terminal it Just Works. So I don't bother with it anymore, I always run Vim from a terminal and I never looked back. In general I find that the terminal imposes two generally good constraints to application makers: everything must exist within a single window and mouse interaction is very limited (and not supported everywhere) so it's important that everything must be achievable with keyboard inputs. These constraints disincentivize pathological mouse-driven "click click" pop up dialog fests which are the bane of my existence.
