To boring in the long run. it's nice with a little nostalgia now and then, but not on a permanent basis.who wants to look at a black screen with text. If you fancy that, just tile a few terminal instances manually, take a screenshot of it, and use it as a wallpaper, not as a WM

[Danielsan]

I don't think is boring, and if the text browser might able to display with more consistency the web pages I probably would use a system like this for the routine using. What is annoying for me is the massive use of the keyboard with its thousand of combinations, if at least would be the same for all the applications would be easier to remember.

As a complete contrast, you might want to look at a system based on Plan 9 [1]. The graphical user interface was designed so that *any text* written *anywhere on the screen* could be executed like a command - you could effectively write your own menu to suit the task in hand. There is a video [4] of the acme text editor in use showing how the GUI works. 9front [2] is an actual OS you can install on bare metal (the developers tend to use older Thinkpads so support for those is supposed to be good). plan9port [3] is a collection of plan9 applications including acme that you can run under linux.
