I am thinking about a sort of cross-platform visual sthg that would
look like more like this old good vb (on dos).
For the console: http://toastytech.com/guis/textvbdos.png

I still believe that the console can be made much nicer (I am working
on it, e.g. of clidesk: http://s30.postimg.org/5mai1s9kh/clidesk.png
).

If you like framebuffer (e.g. SDL on fb), this could maybe give ideas:
   looking like the ST, ... old 16-bits:

  (<-- have you ever heard of this one (some win95 alternative)? :) )

I think that we have to re-new vim ! :) Make sthg else,
cross-platform, and much nicer.
(and coded in C and without heavy dependencies ;) )
