Do you mean macOS, Windows or something else? I’m also not sure if ggp’s concern is a terminal per se (as in a rectangular box of monospace text) or its mechanics, so which software or behavior are we talking about?
It’s a sincere question, because I also believe that user interfaces could be better and there is a room for discussion, but ggp only enumerated observable downsides without explaining how to transform them without losing functionality. Maybe I’m thinking in-the-box, but how could I e.g. control process groups if a terminal was just a canvas and some app wouldn’t support C-z? Or if a process group is also “UNIX”, then what’s the alternative to, well, a group of processes? The initial comment brings many questions without mentioning anything that could at least direct the line of thought.
