You are conflating a method of interaction with a method of drawing things to the screen. These are totally different things. Whether you have a keyboard focused interface like vim or not, has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are drawing graphics by sending escape codes to a terminal emulator to render the interface.

Neovim and it's frontends prove that if you remove terminal emulators the applications become better. The terminal emulator is just in the way.

There is absolutely no reason to build that keyboard focused interface around the terminal. Just drop the terminal and keep the interface, just like neovim did.
