I don't really get the 80x25 thing, but using dumb terminals to write code is great. Zero distractions. More than half the code I've been paid to write in the past 2-3 years has been written in vim running on a vtty with no X and no mouse. It's my favorite way to work, although occasionally it's impractical.
