When you get down to it, there is no better way to display text than to use a text display.

No amount of cartoons or colourful bouncy animation of pictures on the screen can replace simply displaying text when what you need to do is display text on the screen. And it turns out that text is a really good way to display information.

A picture is worth a thousand words but why would you use 1000 words when only one or two will do?

Real text lovers have an appreciation of typography and don't ignore the whole field and stay in the dirt with crude "monospace everything" approach.
