It's possible to make a full-fledged GUI using just monospace (such as console characters), minus icons. It's one possibility for making cross-platform mouse-friendly system management consoles. It won't necessarily be esthetic, but predictable and reliable, unlike DOM crap, where stuff unexpectedly wraps or overlaps unless you test the living daylights out of it. It'd like to see someone pioneer a state-ful GUI markup language using it. When perfected, then it could be reworked into a graphical version (variable-spaced fonts) so we can get away from binary API's for regular GUI's. Then adaptors don't have to be re-written for every app language: just use XML calls.
