that sounds like a replacement for X11/Wayland, not for the terminal. and this of course sounds fine and nice, until you need to interop with other machines / OS-es - in which case you open vt and ssh to whatever location. Or you want your application to be callable by other machine (or via ssh or from script or cron...) - in which case you eschew all the draw commands and do good old print. And now we are back to where Unix is.
