Here's one use case: while I don't use this particular GUI, it really does help when you have some columns containing RTL text such as Arabic and you want to browse through a table. RTL handling in most terminal emulators I've used is really lacking, though I can't blame them.

That's actually a really interesting case I had never considered. I actually just took it for granted that RTL in the console was a solved problem

		Not just in consoles. While RTL is solved for most cases, I generally avoid writing Arabic in code for example (hard-coded strings, regex, etc) and just use Unicode escape sequences. Some issues include ASCII punctuation appearing (visually) in the wrong order and very awkward text selection
