"Exactly as you indicate, even in "classic" terminals we have features like unicode support, color, geometry reporting, mouse reporting, window title manipulation, arbitrary cursor movement, etc." Is that true ? For instance, I am not aware that (for instance) the OSX terminal app does mouse reporting or geometry reporting. Does default xterm ?

Yes. For instance, Vim necessarily knows how large the terminal it is in is. Vim also supports mouse input, allowing you to click around in different windows and whatnot.

In Terminal.app you can use the mouse to move the cursor at the command line. Since at least 10 years.
