Okay interesting, thanks! Do you use Orca or BRLTTY to read the content of those gnome terminals then?
Orca, with BRLTTY handling the Braille display. I'm planning to work on restoring the BRLTTY support for graphical terminals at some point though, which isn't currently working for me in Wayland sessions, but I haven't taken the time to investigate. Orca now runs quite reliably under Wayland, with some bugs still being fixed.
I've largely moved to Thunderbird for mail - too many HTML messages made text-based mail less productive than it used to be, especially if you want to follow links conveniently while reading. There are some annoyances, though. I'm using graphical Web browsers exclusively - text-based browsers are supported by few of the Web sites that I want to access. This will be everybody's situation sooner or later, as the Web is centrally focused on JavaScript and APIs now. It's so complex that there are only two or three implementations (and the third implementation - WebKit - reportedly isn't keeping up with Chromium or Firefox.)
I think of it this way: GUI apps have largely replaced ncurses apps in my daily usage, but not the power of the shell prompt, which I rely on heavily.
For text editing, it's still largely Emacs and Vim due to the keyboard interfaces that they offer.
