If we go only by the added code, it is quite the contrary. Less is more.

TUIs are still not ideal. What is closer to ideal is CLI. Nonetheless, there are
many core suckless programs which are X programs, and none that I know of which
are TUI (be it using bloated libraries like ncurses, or using simpler solutions
like termbox). Even the IRC client ii is not TUI but CLI.
This protocol seems to cater to TUIs, adding functionality which is as of now
not widely accepted nor widely implemented.
